He also played in an era when the rules favored the defense. I'm surprised passes were completed in the '60's. Hayes averaged over 20 yds/catch and scored a TD every 5.22 times he caught the ball. Fred Biletnikoff (who is in the HOF and was also drafted in 1965) avgd 15.2 yds/catch and scored every 7.75 times.
For anyone who likes watching an exciting gamebreaker, watch film of Hayes this summer while we are all going through NFL withdrawel.
