FameRank: 6

"Robert Lee "Bullet Bob" Hayes" was an Olympic sprinter turned American football wide receiver in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. An United States/American track and field athlete, he was a two-sport stand-out in college in both track and college football/football at Florida A&M University. He has one of the top 100 meter times by NFL players. Hayes was enshrined in the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor in 2001 and was selected for induction in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in January 2009. He was officially inducted in Canton, Ohio on August 8, 2009. Hayes is the second Olympic gold medalist to be inducted to the Hall of Fame, after Jim Thorpe.

Once considered the world's fastest man by virtue of his multiple world records in the 60-yard, 100-yard, 220-yard, and Olympic 100-meter dashes, Hayes is the first man to win both an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring.

After that (the surrender) we could run on the surface and the stills could make all the water they wanted. We got to take showers whenever we wanted. Before, we could only get showers every now and then. We were in heaven.
