Joey Haynos (born August 28, 1984) is an American football tight end who is currently a free agent. He was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2008. He played college football at Maryland.
He has also been a member of the Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tennessee Titans.
He played college football at Maryland after playing high school football (at tight end and linebacker) and basketball at Gonzaga College High School. In two years of starting tight end play, Haynos caught over 60 catches for 690 yards. He started all games his senior year, ranking second on the team in receptions.
Haynos was invited to and attended the 2008 NFL Combine; however, he went unselected in the Draft. Some had predicted the "huge player...hard worker and tough competitor... lumbering tight end" would be a late round selection while receiving comparisons to Ben Utecht. He was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent on May 2, 2008. Haynos was signed to the Packers' practice squad on August 31, 2008.
Miami signed Haynos on September 24, 2008 off the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad. Behind David Martin and Anthony Fasano at tight end, Haynos had a reserve role most of the season. His first catch of his career came in week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers. It was a 19-yard touchdown from a pass thrown by Chad Pennington. It was his penultimate reception of a quiet rookie season. The other was a 3-yard catch in a week 17 win against the Jets.
