Ray Guy, who turned punting into a Hall of Fame art form in his 14 seasons with the Raiders, had died at the age of 72
His distinctive kicking style turned him into a valuable weapon, pinning team's deep in their territory. His longest punt was a 74-yarder against the Denver Broncos in 1977.
During those 14 years, he won three Super Bowl rings with the Raiders in Oakland and Los Angeles. He averaged 42.4 yards over his career from 1973 to 1986. During his Hall of Fame speech, Guy -- who was also drafted by four different Major League teams as a pitcher -- said coming to the Raiders changed his life.
"Playing in the NFL with the Raiders was my destiny," he said."I never looked back or questioned my decision."First published on November 3, 2022 / 9:15 AMCreate your free account or log inPlease enter valid email address to continue
