MTV's newest series Teen Wolf has all sorts of appealing qualities that one looks for in good TV: moody drama, beautiful cinematic photography, hot teen wolf-boys fighting hot teen athletes, you know, that sort of thing. Because seriously, do you really need an excuse to watch a bunch of boys sprout hair in weird places, tackle each other and agonize over the trials of what it's like to be different?

Watch the video above to get a glimpse into the mind of the Colton Haynes, the very-easy-on-the-eyes young actor who plays Jackson Whittemore, Teen Wolf's antagonist cum big man on campus. The up and coming Haynes is no stranger to the TV world of the wolfily-inclined—he was previously on The Gates, where he played, you guessed it, a football-playing werewolf.

Tune into MTV's Teen Wolf on Mondays at 10/9C and head here for more exclusive videos and behind-the-scenes clips of the brand new show.
