→Haynes: "The Littlest Tiger"
Haynes gained national attention when ''Sports Illustrated'' published an article entitled "The Littlest Tiger."

He played in the Peach Bowl on December 30, 1968, when LSU defeated [[Florida State University]] at [[Tallahassee]], 31-27.<ref name=obit/>

A Baton Rouge newspaper once described Haynes as "the quarterback who looks like a choir boy."<ref name=jagan/> 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.
