About Mike Haynes, Hall of Famer

Mike Haynes was a cornerback who played fourteen seasons in the NFL, spending seven years with the New England Patriots and seven with the Los Angeles Raiders. Known for his speed, physicality, and range, he became one of the game's premier defensive backs and an outstanding punt returner. A nine-time Pro Bowler and multi-time All-Pro selection, Haynes won Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1976 and helped the Raiders win Super Bowl XVIII. He earned induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2000, and was named to both the NFL's 75th and 100th Anniversary All-Time Teams.

Did you know? In his final high school track meet, Haynes leaped 23'5" in the long jump to win the league championship while his archrival Belmont had already left the competition thinking they had won.
