A Baton Rouge newspaper once described Haynes as "the quarterback who looks like a choir boy." Despite his success in sports, Haynes was said to have been a modest man who downplayed his success. His starting quarterback record for 1966 was 5-4-1; 1967, 7-3-1, and 1968, 8-3-0. He graduated from LSU in 1969 with a degree in [[education]] but entered the pharmaceutical sales business after college graduation.
