The Judge| Lester Hayes Should be in the HALL OF FAME?
Today, we will dive into the fascinating story of Lester Hayes, recognized by many as one of the greatest cornerbacks of all time. Hayes was a three-time All-Pro and a five-time Pro Bowl selection, but his NFL career, which ended in 1986, is marked by a controversy that might have prevented his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: the use of Stickum.
Lester Hayes became known as the "Stickum King" for using this adhesive substance to improve his grip on the ball. Although other players also used Stickum, Hayes is often singled out and criticized for it. In your opinion, is the use of this substance really enough reason to deny him his deserved honor in the Hall of Fame? Leave your opinion in the comments and let us know what you think about this issue.

    He's not in the HOF because he's a Raider , nothing else , this is still blowback from the Davis/ Rozelle fued , guaranteed. The NFL establishment has been hosing qualified Raider HOF candidates for decades. Hayes is just another example of an overqualified candidate that's getting "stiffed" because he was a Raider and a winner Raider to boot , sad

    I’ve been a high school DC/DB/LB coach for 26 seasons and watched much film of him and he’s one of the best CBs in football history. Yes, he used stickum but that was the era and receivers, including his teammate, used it. He began as on offensive tackle in Pop Warner! Then he evolved to DE, then OLB, then Safety and finally to the Island.

Cliff Harris was a 3x AP and 6x PB and waited 41 years. Alex Karras, Robert Brazile, Curley Culp, Fred Dean and Claude Humphrey were all great defenders wo took 30-40 years to get inducted.

    Cowboys fan here. This is another instance of a truly all-time great player who you thought was signed and sealed into the HOF ages ago, only to find he's not even in! Stickum can NOT be a reason to deny him his place, because 1) he was still a HOF-caliber player even after the league banned the use of stickum, and 2) players today wear gloves that do pretty much the same thing, and nobody says a word about it.

And when I was a kid in the school yard I pretended to either be Lester Hayes or Mike Haynes :) I was only 9 when Haynes left New England for the Raiders. So I mainly remember him as a Raider. Haynes was just an amazing football player - and when you see him when he was young running back kick returns etc.. Between those 2 there has never been a tandem like Hayes and Haynes. The 83 Redskins were setting records all year for scoring and those 2 shut the fun bunch down all day. Smothered them. And Lester could cover - not cause of stick em but cause he could lock down cover
