Gale Sayers could play.
But, not too many others due to lack of size, speed.
Bears Wilie Gault ran a 10.10 100m, Hill...10.19.

I think 50 years ago the times should probably be considered inaccurate. Hill ran a 10.19 laser timed while Hayes ran hand-timed. Apparently we need to add .22-.24 seconds to all hand-timed numbers.
That is based on
this site and
this site, which I googled and did no further research. Hayes probably did actually run somewhere in the 10.2s and Tyreek would have beat everybody.
Unrelated to that, but Jim Brown would be an absolute beast today. He'd be a more violent Marshawn Lynch and it would be so fun to watch. Sayers would be amazing to watch in Andy Reid's offense if he gave him at least 15 runs a game and 10 targets in the passing game.
