In 1964, the Cowboys drafted him in the seventh round, taking a chance on a sprinter with blazing speed but unrefined football skills. In his rookie season with the Cowboys, Hayes had 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns while leading the NFL with an average of 21.8 yards a catch. When Dallas won the 1972 Super Bowl, Hayes became the only athlete to win an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring. He finished an 11-year NFL career with 71 touchdown catches, a 20-yard average per catch, and three trips to the Pro Bowl. In the back collar of this jersey is the "SOUTHLAND" manufacturer's tag with a size "46" flag tag. On front, back, and each sleeve is the players number "22" in white tackle twill. Across the back of the jersey is the players name "HAYES" in white tackle twill on a blue name plate. Extra blue durene side panels have been added to this jersey. There has been a blue handwarmer sewn to the front of the jersey for cold weather games. The jersey shows game-use and with exception to the above mentioned, appears to have no alterations of any kind.
