RIP Ray Guy
I always thought he and Reggie Roby were the best punters ever.
Guy, as far as I know, is the only punter in the NFL HOF - as a punter. He was also a heck of a college baseball player. .

Eventually he met a fourth and long he couldn't handle I guess. What entertaining teams those were.

He was certainly the best at his spot and a memory of the eccentricities of Al Davis. He took not only a punter in the first round, but a kicker in Janikowski too. Amazingly, both were fair picks for their accomplishments.
I would bet that neither will be done again in my lifetime.

That generational kicker is already playing for Baltimore. - AND he can sing opera too!

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.

Maybe not the best punter, but biggest leg I ever saw belonged to Randall Cunningham. Admittedly a small sample size, but 20 career punts, and two of them were the longest that season in the NFL, including the 3rd longest punt of all-time. A 91 yarder.
 He made the Giants look silly on more than one occasion. Sorry, not Ray Guy related, but how often do we get to talk about punters.

i was fortunate enough to talk baseball with him on several occasions in the early 90s. he was a constant at southern miss games…had his spot out beyond the fence…and would hold court before and after batting practice for visiting teams…or during frequent southern mississippi downpour-related weather delays
i knew he was super smart about all things baseball, but i had no idea he was as accomplished in his “second” sport.
