Homegrown NFL talent Casey Hayward is back in Central Georgia helping a select group of students with good grades walk in style for the upcoming school year.

Hayward is a graduate of Perry High school who went on to play football at the prestigious academic Vanderbilt University. Now a San Diego Chargers cornerback, he rewarded the first 100 students in line to a pair of $100 shoes if they had an "A" or "B" average on their end of the year report card.
