Sports World Nostalgia: Haywood Jeffries

Inspired by the newest YCS creation, I give everyone look back at a fantasy star of the past.

While us fantasy footballers are currently preparing to draft an Anquan Boldin or Santana Moss, Haywood Jeffries certainly won his owners a few games in the years gone by. Teaming with the likes of Ernest Givins, Curtis Duncan and Webster Slaughter, Jeffries was a main cog for the Houston Oilers run and shoot offense of the late 80's and early 90's. Jeffries finished in top ten among fantasy receivers from 1990 to 1992, leading the NFL with 100 receptions in 1991. In one of the NFL's most famous games, Jeffries had 8 catches for 98 yards and 2 TD's while his Oilers blew a 35-3 lead against the Buffalo Bills. Finally, who can forget his dominance in Tecmo Super Bowl, where he would take bombs from Warren Moon straight to the endzone. Before the Greatest Show on Turf became a part of the NFL lexicon, Haywood Jeffries and his compatriates lit up NFL scoreboards across the country.
