Meanwhile, I HAD, in fact, heard of a Raiders WR who was well known for his use of stickum, and his name is Fred Biletnikoff.

So what, again, was your point?

They named the stickum rule after him, the Lester Hayes Rule.

That's cool. I was told that in that thread where the subject came up. I had never heard a name for the rule. I just knew stickum had been outlawed a long time ago, and the player I knew most for using it was Biletnikoff. Being that he was a WR, he benefited from stickum more than Lester Hayes and should have had the rule named after him, if you ask me. Instead, they named the award for best college receiver after him. Which I find incredibly stupid.
