Happy birthday to Bob Hayes—who proved the impossible was possible by turning Olympic gold into NFL glory! You dashed past defenders with ease, sprinting from medals on the track straight to touchdowns with the Dallas Cowboys. With three Pro Bowl selections in your pocket, defenders knew they needed rocket boosters just to keep up.Your nickname "Bullet" wasn't earned by standing still—it came from blazing trails that left everyone else eating dust. So today we raise a toast (and our oxygen tanks) celebrating your incredible legacy of speed and style. Here's hoping this birthday moves slower than you ever did on game day!
