Olympians who played in the NFL

[Phil C]

Below is the article which is interesting. I well remember Bob Hayes and even though he won the olympics and set the record in the 200 yd dash at the time it was once pointed out that he was a football player first in high school and a track man second. He had a great career and was almost always unstoppable. He didn't have as much success as defensive teams because they would bump him all over the field. If he were playing today with the rules they got on defensive backs now he would have been unstoppable.
