===Cowboy records===
Hayes was the second player (after [[Franklin Clarke]]) in the history of the [[Dallas Cowboys]] franchise to surpass 1,000 yards (ground or air) in a single season, and he did that in his rookie year by finishing with 1,003 yards. Also during his rookie year, he led the team with 46 receptions and set franchise records for total [[touchdowns]] (13) and total receiving touchdowns (12). He finished his 11-year career with 371 receptions for 7,414 yards and 71 touchdowns, giving him an impressive 20 yards per catch average (his yards per catch average remains a franchise record, while his touchdown reception record stood until 2017, when it was broken by [[Dez Bryant]].) He also rushed for 68 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns, gained 581 yards on 23 kickoff returns, and returned 104 punts for 1,158 yards and three touchdowns.

In [[1965 NFL season|1965]] he also started a streak ([[1965 NFL season|1965]]–[[1966 NFL season|1966]]) of seven consecutive games with at least a [[touchdown]] catch, which still stands as a Cowboys record shared with [[Franklin Clarke]] ([[1961 NFL season|1961]]–[[1962 NFL season|1962]]), [[Terrell Owens]] ([[2007 NFL season|2007]]) and [[Dez Bryant]] ([[2012 NFL season|2012]]).

His 7,295 receiving yards are the sixth-most in [[Dallas Cowboys]] history. To this day{{When|date=February 2023}}, Hayes holds ten regular-season receiving records, four punt return records and 22 overall franchise marks, making him one of the greatest receivers to ever play for the Cowboys.

In 2004, he was named to the [[Professional Football Researchers Association]] Hall of Very Good in the association's second HOVG class.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.profootballresearchers.org/hall-of-very-good-2004.htm |title=Hall of Very Good |access-date=July 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005051004/http://www.profootballresearchers.org/hall-of-very-good-2004.htm |archive-date=October 5, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
