Yes all three were world record breakers/holders and Super bowl champions

Skeets Nehimiah (79, 81) super bowl 84
Wilie Gault (4x100) Helsinki 83, super bowl 85
Bullet Bob Hayes (4 x 100, 100 ) Tokyo 64, Super Bowl 72

Hayes is the only one to have Olympic gold, world record and a Super bowl ring.

Nehemiah was a world record holder and Super Bowl champion for the 49ers.

As mentioned above, Gault was a gold medalist (relay) and Super Bowl champion with the Bears.

Sam Graddy also was a gold medalist and played on Denver's Super Bowl losing team.

Cullman's almost there. Going back to the Topic heading "Super bowl" Those other athletes did get world records and acheive Hall of fame status, (answers for another title question) but not Super bowl. Who else besides Bob Hayes achieved this difficult status? And what were the titles?

I'm sure Cullman's post is the right answer, but it could have been - Olympic Gold, World record holder, and all-pro - which applies to Ron Brown, who won Gold in the 400r with a WR 37.83 in '84, and the following year was an all-pro for the Rams, as a kick returner

OJ Simpson had a World Record in the 4X100 at USC and is also in the NFL Hall Of Fame. Mel Renfro and future Dallas Cowboy teammate, Mike Gaechter were part of the University of Oregon relay team that set the WR in the 4X110 yard relay.
