Bob Hayes Going To Hall Of Fame

Green Dozer · January 31, 2009

Bob Hayes, the original #22 from the old Cowboys, was elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame today. He may be the last of the old Cowboys elected given the bias to those days, but it is better late than never. He changed the game with his speed, and he is credited for being the main reason we now have "zone defense". I think his personal problems were both sad and showed poor decision making, but there were other players before him elected with a lot more baggage. Wrong is wrong, I know, but as a kid he was one of the Cowboys I watched make for some great moments. It is a good day in Dallas Cowboys history.
