So the NFL Hall of Fame committee finally got it right over the weekend and selected former Dallas Cowboys WR Bob Hayes for induction. All I can say is it's about time.
"Bullet Bob" changed the game when he played for the Cowboys in the late 1960s and early 70s. His speed made man-to-man coverage ineffective and ushered in zone coverages.
Some of my greatest memories when the Cowboys were my team and my heroes are of Hayes streaking down the field well behind a defender to catch a pass for a touchdown.
Sadly, he died a few years ago and won't be around for the induction ceremony in August, but it's nice he will finally take his place among the greats of the game.
