I HAD to honor them!!
KoB's Lester "The Judge" Hayes https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4792260
"The Judge" was one of the 2 best shutdown corners of his era.
A fifth round pick in 1977, Lester Hayes converted from a linebacker/safety hybrid to play cornerback. In 1980, he was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year after intercepting 13 passes, one shy of tying "Night Train" Lane's NFL record. In 1983, the Raiders acquired Mike Haynes in a trade and the duo formed arguably the best cornerback tandem in league history as they are widely reckoned as being the prototypes for fast and physical corners. He retired after the 1986 season as a five time Pro Bowler, six time All-Pro, the 1980 Defensive Player of the Year, a member of the 1980's All-Decade Team, and two time Super Bowl champion.
Future:
Jack Tatum
A first round pick by Oakland in 1970, Jack Tatum was brought in to be Dave Grayson's replacement. In his first game, he knocked out future Hall of Fame tight end John Mackey and quickly became known for his hard hitting skills. In 1972, he set an NFL record with a 104-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown. By 1976, he helped the Raiders to Super Bowl XI where he delivered one of the games hardest hits by knocking the helmet of Vikings wide receiver Sammy White in Oakland's dominating victory. During his final season with the Oilers in 1980, he set his career high with seven interceptions to give him a total of 37. In his 10 seasons, Tatum was a three time Pro Bowler, two time All-Pro, and Super Bowl Champion.
