I would bet that neither will be done again in my lifetime.

Agree as to a punter. If there was a clearly generational kicker, I could see that happening again.

That generational kicker is already playing for Baltimore.

- AND he can sing opera too!

I believe he was undrafted also.

Scouts seem to have a hard time evaluating kickers out of college. The ones that tend to get drafted fairly high, almost seem to always be busts.

I imagine the 2nd punter to make the HOF, will also be an ex-Raider, whenever Shane Lechler makes it in.

As a Giants fan back in the day, we used to call Dave Jennings the Ray Guy of the NFC. He wasn’t quite as good, but for years he was the only Non-defensive player we were able to sneak into the Pro Bowl.
