Da devil set him up 4 failure, and everybody knew it, but with heavy jealousy and envy in their hearts; dey just stood and watch him self destruct... No melanated man we're never considered 2 be called a speed demon... We're just better bcuz we're different... Da End Da End

My first favorite player in the NFL when I was 8 years old!!!! Incredible talent and super speed !!!🏃🏾‍♂️‍➡️

Did anyone else notice that he didn't do those st*p*d *ss "celebrations" in the end zone. One of the reasons I quit watching professional sports.

AI can’t tell the difference between Hayes 😅and E. Smith

You mean the SOUTH was RACIST against people of color not IT WAS DIVIDED

Wow. He was just raw. His sprint technique was actually flawed. Just think if he been trained properly. There's no telling how fast he really was.

The South is still deeply divided and that’s good !

The Cowboys practiced in The summer in Thousand oaks. My Pop Warner team was the cowboys. We loved Bob 💙 the world fastest human. Great story 👍 Thank you.

some of these pictures are not Bob Hayes.. seeing Troy and Irvin in uniform. That was the ultimate team..

He is the reason they went to zone defenses in the NFL. No One could cover him one on one.

I was there at FAMU! He was not a track man who played football. He was a football player who ran track. Haves was 192 lbs and he wasn’t a skinny little kid. I was on the baseball team and we would compete as to which one of us could be the first to get on the roster at 200 lbs. It was fun knowing that I challenged Bob Hayes.

🙏🏾🤔🙌🏾WOW🖐🏽

Why do you disgrace Emmit Smith so many times for filler clips, poor video I wld take it down

Did Bob ever compete over 60 metres ?

So I’m about 13 it’s Sunday afternoon the years before cable tv we had an outdoor antenna that set high atop our roof controlled by this directional box on top of the tv.. Daddy would buy sherbet ice cream as i anxiously waited for Dallas Cowboys to play in the Cottonbowl. I had some neighborhood friends whose Mother moved to Dallas . Their names Bernie and Stan Osborne ( both gone RIP ) all they do is talk about Bullet Bob Hayes.. ( We’d be playing sandlot football and they run as fast they could and say Bullet Bob Hayes). So that Sunday afternoon with a bowl of sherbet and reception on the tv crystal clear. The announcer would say Pete Gent to the right Hayes to the left. All of sudden Don ‘Dandy’ Meredith would drop back and heave one of them bombs all the way down field to a wide open Bullet Bob Hayes. When he caught it there wasn’t much more for him to get to the end zone . It inspired me so much till I wanted to be fast. Every kid wanted to be like Hayes. He seemed to glide along on top of the ground floating while everyone who gave chase look ordinary in their pursuit.. You see when you got a word like Bullet in front of your name it adds that flair fast as a bullet.. Wow! And as we grew up in our small town it inspired me to run and be the best I could be. You see Bob ran that 10.0 100 meters in lane number one that prior the race was ran in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics distance runners ran the 1500 in that same lane. It was chewed up and not packed very well not like the tartan tracks today. Plus he left his shoes so he had scrambling to find some shoes to fit that 8 1/2 foot. Up comes Ralph Boston Olympic long jumper whose shoes Bob borrows. . Now with all that he still won the gold in a chewed up lane. No doubt in a modern day Olympics with all the best training we might have seen a 9.5 100 meters back then . I heard somewhere that he never lost a 40 yard sprints in practice while playing for the Cowboys. A remarkable feat in itself . Rest in Peace Mr Hayes you expired a many young person in my era.

I remember Hayes well. He attended a cross town high school Gilbert and I attended Stanton. He was always at one of the recreational parks here with other local standouts. He ran track and played football in high school. I witnessed maybe the only time he was defeated in a track meet when Alfred Austin edged him out in a 100 yard dash at Simon Johnson park. We know him as 'crow'.

god didnt give anybody anything. gods are myths. all 18,000+ of em. EVOLUTION dealt people what they physiologically have/the cards they're dealt, and environmental factors play into it as well. ME? im like steve largent, but I HAVE MOVES that ANY MAN would want in sports. seriously not bragging, as this bullet dude is. I won't box because of the risk itself of being blinded, deafened (pugilistica dementia bla bla ...) , but im sure i could go pro. im afraid of nobody and nothing. EXCEPT being blind or deaf lol. i didnt make it to 23+ without using 🧠brains... foorball, basketball, baseball, tableTennis, darts(not VR either lmao), im wayyy above average. i'd make a living at it, buttttt....I'm far into the SCIENCES. I will use sports as a fall-back just incase my love for science wanes.

It’s a damn crime for Emmitt to have his number that’s crazy

it has been a long time ago but it seems like I remember Herb Adderley of the green bay packers running Bob Hayes down and tackling him and this is after Hayes had a 10 yard lead. I watched that game but can't remember the year

Man I wish I could see Bob line up today against the current sprinters. I have a feeling he would set the wr.

Ron Wolf, HOF GM of the Packers, called Troy: "The Cerebral Assassin."

Hero on and off the field....I could tell stories for hours.

Golden Richards beat Hayes in the 100 in high school...fact is, Hayes never beat him @ 40 yrds. Golden beat him in a race in the Astrodome

He was my hero growing up

What’s with all the pics of Emmit Smith?

Hayes was good with the Cowboys until he got scared of getting hit. By no means I am not putting him down as a runner

The video is very good until they started showing EMIT SMITH images for while talking about BOB HAYES. LOL!

Why the stupid snow?

Cliff Branch, Willie Gault, etc.

He is on another planet. Top 5 PG, no he's right now at this point #1 PG. Just listen to the NBA player talk about this man. Straight Master Piece on the court and a phenomenal human being.

❤❤ The Reason a kid from Ohio became a diehard, true blue, Cowboys Fan. When I played football or any sport, I always requested #22., loved Emmitt, but Bobby Hayes to me will always be #22.

What’s with the stupid specks all over the videos?

The reason you have football terms like: *The Bomb* *Hail Mary* *Free Safety* ...just to name a few.

Bob Hayes is the Wilt Chamberlain of Football.

1964, the Tokyo Olympics, and the birth of another bullet, the Bullet Train, the Shinkansen, the world's first high speed train (by about 20 years).

This video is CAP. Showing Emmet Smith whole yalking about Bob Hayes..

Still is😮

😭 🙏

Thanks for the beautiful memories! Back in the day, in the 1960s, when I (70 years old now) was growing up in West Dallas, the neighborhood kids would play two hand touch football on the unpaved streets. We also played at the Catholic Elementary school during our one-hour lunch break. Every kid went by a Dallas Cowboy Name when playing. I was known as Pete Gent for a while. However, the coveted Name by everyone was Bob Hayes, the which was given to the fastest boy in the team. The fastest boy was George Williams, he was "Bob Hayes", so the defense always double covered him. Those were the days! Bob Hayes didn't run, he GALLOPED!! He was amazing to watch, especially after he caught a "bomb".

Rest in love, Bob Hayes. So many Black men owe what they do on the field to you, sir. 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿

I was in Jr. High when Bob was on the Cowboys. He was my favorite!

Jerry Rice is the leading pass receiver of all time. He was known for his healthy lifestyle and training regimen. I would like to think that receivers would learn something from the lives of Hayes and Rice about how to maximize success in this position.

I really enjoyed watching this profile. I remember watching him when I was a small boy & I wanted to be just like him. An observation though -- There are several still shots in the video which show the other legendary #22 standing along side Troy Aikman. A minor error in the story of a major life!!!

when did emmit smith become bob hayes? just plain lazy for a video on youtube.

9.91 seconds. Not 9.2 and faster 😂

They should have retired his jersey. They will be hard pressed to find a faster football player. R.I.P. Bullet Bob.

I’m 72 and remember watching him and how he changed the game. Within 2 yrs teams were digning track stars. My NY Giants had Homer Jones( still NFL record for 25 yds/ catch)! Also had DB’s -Henry Carr and Clarence Childs all low 9 second 100’s! Exciting times.

Forever Rest in Paradise Bullet Bob Hayes, you earned it through the good times and your fight to right your ship.

Great story. Visuals were good also but some of the no. 22s were Emmit Smith and not Bob Hayes. I remember watching Bob when I was younger when he was playing for the Cowboys. Always exciting. I always remember him running down a db from a long distance after an interception of another receiver. He was insanely fast on that play but it is never brought up. Maybe someone can reference it.
