Born and raised in Jacksonville, Bob Hayes was a star athlete for Florida A&M University (FAMU) in Tallahassee and an Olympic Gold Medal sprinter before his NFL career. Hayes was once known as The World’s Fastest Human thanks to his world records in the 60-yard, 100-yard, 220-yard, and Olympic 100-meter dashes. Bob Hayes is the only man to win both an Olympic gold and a Super Bowl ring.
