Lester Craig Hayes (born January 22, 1955) is a former professional American football player for the Oakland / Los Angeles Raiders of the National Football League (NFL).

Hayes was commonly referred to as "the Judge" and also as "Lester the Molester" because of his bump and run coverage.[1] He had a distinct stance, crouching very low when facing the opposing wide receiver. He was also known for using Stickum before it was banned in 1981 by a rule bearing his name.

College career

In college starting in 1973 he played for the Texas A&M. Amazingly he first played defensive end as a freshman and then linebacker and safety as a sophomore. His junior and senior years he settled in as a safety and became an All-American for his play at safety.[2]

Professional career

Hayes was converted to cornerback after being chosen by the Raiders in the fifth round of the 1977 draft. Hayes helped lead the Raiders to two Super Bowl wins (1980, 1983), and was a six-time All-Pro (1979-1984) and a five-time Pro Bowler (1980–1984).

He was known as one of the greatest shutdown cornerbacks in NFL history. In 1980, Hayes led the NFL with 13 interceptions, tied for second most with Dan Sandifer, who had set it in 1948, and behind Dick "Night Train" Lane with 14 in 1952, and was named AP Defensive Player of the Year[3] and the NEA Defensive Player of the Year.

A big Star Wars fan, during pregame interviews for Super Bowl XVIII he declared himself the "only true Jedi" in the NFL.[4] His best performance was probably in Super Bowl XVIII. He had only one tackle, but that was because he so effectively covered Charlie Brown and Art Monk that Joe Theismann hardly threw to the left side of the field.[5] During his last four seasons, he formed a partnership with Mike Haynes that has been considered one of the best in league history. Hayes and Haynes gave the Raiders the luxury of having two shutdown corners. They are widely reckoned as being the prototypes for a generation of speedy and physical cornerbacks.[6]

He retired after the 1986 season with a total of 39 interceptions, a Raider record shared with Hall of Famer Willie Brown.

In 2012, the Professional Football Researchers Association named Hayes to the PRFA Hall of Very Good Class of 2012 [7]

Stickum

Stickum is a sticky adhesive substance that was introduced to Hayes when he was a rookie in 1977 by Hall of Fame wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff. However, instead of just applying a small amount to his hands to help him hold on to the football, Hayes started slathering it all over his arms and even on his uniform, drawing more and more attention to it.[8] The use of Stickum was banned by the NFL after the 1980 season. In the six seasons that Hayes played following the banning of Stickum, he had 14 total interceptions, compared to his 25 that he had in his first four seasons.[9]
