[6] Future American Football League and NFL star linebacker and defensive end Rich Jackson was Haymond’s teammate at Landry (including on the 1959 championship team under coach Felix James) and Southern.
Upon scoring, he threw his spread arms in the air to celebrate, the first time this occurred in the NFL.
At that time, what would become a routine celebration was considered bad sportsmanship, and his own coach Don Shula reprimanded Haymond.
[17] He played one more year for the Colts, but only in eight games, and was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for Timmy Brown before the 1968 season.
[19][20] The Los Angeles Rams and head coach George Allen traded Billy Guy Anderson, Jimmy Raye and a future draft pick to the Eagles for Haymond in 1969.
He played for Washington in 1972, where Allen was now the head coach, returning only six punts and ten kickoffs.
[29] After retirement from the NFL, Haymond was a high school coach and athletic director.
[11] As a result of playing football, Haymond underwent knee and hip replacements, and back, neck, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist surgeries; though in his later years he worked hard to stay fit.
