Right. The greatest CB duo in NFL history is Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes, but one of them is not in the Hall of Fame? How does that make sense? The NFL Hall of Fame is a joke.
Lester Hayes was a ball hawk even in College @ Texas A&M! He definitely deserves to be in the HOF! He used stickem like many other players! He was still a fantastic player his entire career! AND STICKEM WAS CONSIDERED LEGAL THEN!
Probably not much difference than the gloves they wear nowadays? Those have a good grip on the ball. Plus, the stickum was available for anyone else to use as well. He just used more of it.
When I was in high school playing football 🏈 in Connecticut, I copied Lester Hayes to the point where I switched from WR to CB! I loved it!!!! Down to the stance before. His game was legionary 🏈 Hall of Fame straight up 👊🏿
The judge was second team All Pro in 1983. He is on the 1980s All Decade team. People forget that he was part of the greatest CB duo of all time with Mike Haynes - post stickem. Judge used stickem to not for interceptions but to stick to opposing receivers.
This extraordinary defensive back has performed at a high level to earn a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame win Canton, Ohio! "Stickum" did not help him to be in positions to make those outstanding plays! He still played outstanding after the stickum was banned! And besides, todays players are playing with gloves that adhere to the football the same way as the stickum did! He left everything out on the football field! This is why peers and coaches should be on the board of decision! Lester Hayes belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame!
Absolutely Lester Hayes is worthy of inclusion into the pro football NFL Hall of Fame, he had a very successful 10 year career as a DB for the Raiders and helped the team to win two Superbowls!
If it wasn’t illegal and others used it, then there’s absolutely no reason to criticize this man for it!!! And he’s earned his place in the hall period. There’s always someone trying to hold another man down!!
Put my man in the HOF. He’s well worthy of it. As the late, great Al Davis said numerous times, “Just win, Baby”, “The Judge”did just that, with & without the use of stickum. 🤷🏾
One of the best CB that has ever played in the NFL! Why is something that was legal to use always brought up when it comes to Lester Hayes and the Hall of Fame? Give Lester his proper due while he is still with us to enjoy it!
I have one answer and that is did Fred Bilitnikoff get in the HOF of course and no one questions his use of stickum which was legal and with in the rules at that time. Lester is a no brainer and so is JIM PLUNKETT. But their Raiders so we know why.
If Fred Biletnikoff is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Lester should also be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It was Biletnikoff who turned him on to "Stickum" in the first place. Biletnikoff used "Stickum" and he was selected to the Hall. 3XAll Pro,5XPro Bowl, 2X Super Bowl Champion and 1X Defensive Player of the Year.
I have seen 16 of the 18 Int, Lester had in 1980. He makes all 16 without Stickum. I'm not sure of how much benefit it actually was at that stage of his career.
Stickum was legal when he used it. The tandem of Mike Haynes and Lester was the best set of corners all time. The Raiders put Haynes and Hayes on an island and never worried about the opposing teams best 2 receivers.
One of the greatest corner-backs of all time ! Lester Hayes # 37 belongs wearing that gold jacket with his H.O.F bust among the other Raider greats ! Long overdue ......
Easily a top 10 ever corner; a straight man cover guy,along w/ Haynes, first and best secondary of its kind. The interceptions alone would earn honors, but he could tackle…grew a few miles from Coliseum, watched the real Raiders all the time…Lester is OG
Yes I believe that Lester Hayes should be inducted in the football hall of fame at that time a lot of players used stickers that is my take on the matter ❤❤❤😂😂
That is bulls***. There were lots of other players using stickum and now the league is littered with every skill player other than the QB using a semblance of stickum in the form of receiver gloves.
It was legal to be used, so that shouldn't be held against them, also other players used it, particularly his teammate wide receiver Fred B and I believe he's in, what's the what's the original shutdown corner
Mr stick’em! Not sure if he should be or not but I would not argue against him. Loved him as a player actually. We used to go the same taqueria in L.A. so at the very least I can vouch that his taste is unquestionable.
He was over excessive with the substance and that tainted his career somewhat. People always asked What If he was not allowed to use the stuff, would he have made as many plays? Would he have contaminated as many opponents jerseys with that crap? He should have been more discreet with the use of that stuff.
He Definitely should be in the Hall of Fame he’s one of the Top 5 ( CB ) in NFL History “ Ever “ so tell me in all of Football ( HS,College,NFL ) every team has those ( Stickum Gloves ) so what’s the Difference .
Hayes should be in the HOF regardless of the glue. That boy had skills. Besides, it wasn't until yrs later that the NFL banned the substance. Let Lester into the HOF
If this is supposed to be the “RAIDERS HISTORY CHANNEL”, I’m not too happy about what I’ve seen in this video. Much of the quality in these video highlights is piss poor.
Fred Bellitnikoff, Lesters Stivkum Mentor, used stickum and made the HOF. Lester should be in Hall
One of the best ever, with or without the stickum.
Lester Hayes definitely deserves to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame!
Right. The greatest CB duo in NFL history is Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes, but one of them is not in the Hall of Fame? How does that make sense? The NFL Hall of Fame is a joke.
Lester Hayes was the total package he was a great cover corner and he could tackle Mr Laster Hayes Sould Be In The NFL Hall Of Fame
He was a solid player. Over a long period of his career.
Lester Hayes was a ball hawk even in College @ Texas A&M! He definitely deserves to be in the HOF! He used stickem like many other players! He was still a fantastic player his entire career! AND STICKEM WAS CONSIDERED LEGAL THEN!

Yes I do agree
The man deserves to be in the Hall of Fame

Judge used stickem to not for interceptions but to stick to opposing receivers.
"Lester the Interceptor " was the man. Definitely belongs in the HOF!!!!
He was one of the greatest to play the game put that man in the HOF!
Stickum did not help him cover receivers
This extraordinary defensive back has performed at a high level to earn a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame win Canton, Ohio!

I am a Cowboys fan. I was a big fan of Lester. A great corner. I loved watching him play.😀
Put my man in the HOF. He’s well worthy of it. As the late, great Al Davis said numerous times, “Just win, Baby”, “The Judge”did just that, with & without the use of stickum. 🤷🏾
If stickum didn’t keep Freddy Biletnikoff and many others out then it shouldn’t keep Hayes out!!!
Lester was my favorite player when I was in junior high school because I was playing cornerback I only picked the best players to emulate
Lester Hayes had a legendary pose before the start of any offensive play....for that he should be enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
Lester should be in the HOF
One of the best CB that has ever played in the NFL! Why is something that was legal to use always brought up when it comes to Lester Hayes and the Hall of Fame? Give Lester his proper due while he is still with us to enjoy it!
I have one answer and that is did Fred Bilitnikoff get in the HOF of course and no one questions his use of stickum which was legal and with in the rules at that time. Lester is a no brainer and so is JIM PLUNKETT. But their Raiders so we know why.
Absolutely Lester should be in the HOF! My favorite Raider, with cornerback speed, linebacker hits, great vision and a ball hawk.
Please put Lester Hayes in the Hall of Fame!!!!!
If Fred Biletnikoff is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Lester should also be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It was Biletnikoff who turned him on to "Stickum" in the first place. Biletnikoff used
"Stickum" and he was selected to the Hall. 3XAll Pro,5XPro Bowl, 2X Super Bowl Champion and 1X Defensive Player of the Year.
Is it because he man of color 😮
It’s a great injustice to keep Lester Hayes out of the HOF. Not only was he a great corner but such timely interceptions in the biggest games!
Lester's post season numbers are even more incredible... He's a no brainer HOF
I have seen 16 of the 18 Int, Lester had in 1980. He makes all 16 without Stickum. I'm not sure of how much benefit it actually was at that stage of his career.
Put that man in the Hall!!! When it was legal it was legal
THE JUDGE’S HANDS HAVE STICKY SUBSTANCE ON THEM.JUDGE NOT , LEST BE JUDGED YOURSELF
Stickum was legal when he used it. The tandem of Mike Haynes and Lester was the best set of corners all time. The Raiders put Haynes and Hayes on an island and never worried about the opposing teams best 2 receivers.
Put him in coach, some of these receivers used it too.
Shocking
Lester Hayes should definitely be in the Hall of Fame him and Haynes had the best corners ever in the backfield as a tandem with Tatum in the middle
No doubt, he took the best receiver every week with great results.
The NFL had all the time in the world to ban stickum. Can't blame Lester or anyone from using it if it was allowed. Yes, he should be inducted.
One of the greatest corner-backs of all time ! Lester Hayes # 37 belongs wearing that gold jacket with his H.O.F bust among the other Raider greats ! Long overdue ......
He definitely should be in the hall of fame. Injustice
Hell yeah!
Yet today all position players use gloves???? The game should outlaw gloves as well.
Lester belongs in HOF
the judge was a beast
Damn Lester Haynes isn't in the HOF?
ONE of THE GOAT'S of All Time,It's a Dam disgrace he is not in the hof!!!💯😎
No he definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame
Easily a top 10 ever corner; a straight man cover guy,along w/ Haynes, first and best secondary of its kind. The interceptions alone would earn honors, but he could tackle…grew a few miles from Coliseum, watched the real Raiders all the time…Lester is OG
What is difference between what he used and the globes these great players use today.
Yes I believe that Lester Hayes should be inducted in the football hall of fame at that time a lot of players used stickers that is my take on the matter ❤❤❤😂😂
1970's? Everyone was using Stick Em. I was 10 years old, playing Pee Wee football, and even we were using it!
This is a Dammm shame Lester is a top 6 of all time at corner,FTHF!!!💯😎
Lester was 1980 defensive MVP. A big reason his interceptions dropped was that he was so dominant. QBs wouldn't throw his way as much.
He was the best ever play the cornerback position
he should be in the HOF
No Lester Hays should be in the NFL Hall of Fame!
IT is so wrong to keep " LESTER HAYES , out of NFL( ! He did not play his entire career wearing stickum , he made all-pro with out it !!!
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
There was nothing illegal about using it and wide receivers also used it so why penalize him
Lock Down Cornerback could be one of the best ever.
It was not cheating. It was legal at that time. He deserves to be in the HOF
Hall of Fame!!!
Absolutely
Not sure that Stickum was the reason that LH is not in the HOF. As Fred Biletnikoff used it, and he is in. Yes, Lester should be in the HOF.
That is bulls***.
There were lots of other players using stickum and now the league is littered with every skill player other than the QB using a semblance of stickum in the form of receiver gloves.
Its no different than the gloves they use today 😂😂
What a group of D Backs the RAIDERS had.
Should be in tha HOF first of all stickem was Legal so whats tha problem
It was legal to be used, so that shouldn't be held against them, also other players used it, particularly his teammate wide receiver Fred B and I believe he's in, what's the what's the original shutdown corner
Lester Hayes, student of the game. my favorite player, next to Jack Tatum
Yes he should get in he's 1 of da best. Quarterback who deflated footballs will be inducted .
Mr stick’em!
Not sure if he should be or not but I would not argue against him. Loved him as a player actually. We used to go the same taqueria in L.A. so at the very least I can vouch that his taste is unquestionable.
That's an excuse just to keep the black man out of the Hall of Fame let the man in
The story of the Oakland Raiders is not complete without Lester Hayes.
Back then it was ok😂😂😂
I will be honest, I thought he was already in. He was one of the best.
He was a former LINEEBACKER who converted to CB... That alone should put him in the Hall of Fame with the stats he put up... even after stickum
Really, cause nobody used more "stickem" than Casper, yet HE is in the HOF...so you tell me, what's the difference???
He won two SUPPER BOWLES AFTER STI CK E.M WERE BAND
Are you kidding? It's BS long overdue
No, because he one of best
Put him in😢😢😢😢
Stick em doesn't help you cover.
Fred was white😊
Frank Minnifield and Hanford Dixon need to be in first.
HE’D GET SMOKED by RICE,IRVIN,OWENS,MOSS,ISAAC ,HOLT,MEGATRON ETC.
“DIRTIEST PLAYER I EVER PLAYED AGAINST” WILLIE GAULT
He belongs
He was over excessive with the substance and that tainted his career somewhat. People always asked What If he was not allowed to use the stuff, would he have made as many plays? Would he have contaminated as many opponents jerseys with that crap? He should have been more discreet with the use of that stuff.
The question is how is he not in the Hall of Fame
No question is the consummate shut down corner.
What about players who wear gloves???
He Definitely should be in the Hall of Fame he’s one of the Top 5 ( CB ) in NFL History “ Ever “ so tell me in all of Football ( HS,College,NFL ) every team has those ( Stickum Gloves ) so what’s the Difference .
Hayes should be in the HOF regardless of the glue. That boy had skills. Besides, it wasn't until yrs later that the NFL banned the substance. Let Lester into the HOF
Cheater.
Fred Biletnikoff is in the Hall Of Fame. He's a cheater too
