NFL history is made up of the stories of the people who played and coached the game. As part of our Greatest NFL Jersey Number 37s of All-Time, historian Aron Harris of the Football Odyssey shares the condensed history of former NFL cornerback Lester Hayes in this one-minute video bio.

Thanks to Aron for the great history and sharing with us the legacy of the gridiron great. You can find his Football Odyssey Podcast on SportsHistoryNetwork.com or on your favorite podcast provider.

Lester Hayes, nicknamed "The Judge" for his ability to shut down receivers in courtrooms and on the field, had a ten-year NFL career defined by defensive dominance. Drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 1977, Hayes switched from linebacker to cornerback and quickly excelled. He earned All-Pro honors once and a staggering five Pro Bowl selections between 1980 and 1984. Hayes' stingy coverage frustrated quarterbacks, and his knack for takeaways (with 39 career interceptions) protected his team's lead. A key part of the Raiders' " intimidating secondary," Hayes helped them win two Super Bowls (XV and XVIII). His most iconic moment might be Super Bowl XVIII, where he neutralized Washington's star receivers, forcing quarterback Joe Theismann to look elsewhere. Hayes retired in 1986 with 39 interceptions, tying the Raiders' all-time record.
