Football career
Mays began his pro football career in 1974 with the World Football League's Houston Texans and Shreveport Steamer before coming to the NFL.[1] He is remembered for filling in for Brian Sipe of the Cleveland Browns, who was knocked out of a game on October 10, 1976, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mays started the season as the third-string quarterback and had never played in the NFL regular season before. He led the Browns to an 18–16 victory.
Personal life
Mays was a Doctor of Dental Surgery, even during his playing days with the Browns. He practiced dentistry for 20 years in Greater Cleveland. He was accused of the 1990 attempted murder of the dentist to whom he had sold his practice, but was acquitted in a 1992 trial.[2] In 1994, he was found guilty of welfare fraud for operating a phony billing scheme.[3]
