First punter to make the Hall of Fame

Ray Guy, the celebrated Raider who became the first pure punter enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has died. He was 72.

The Hall of Fame shared the news of Guy’s passing on Thursday, saying he died following a lengthy illness.

An accomplished college player, Guy was the first punter selected in the first round of an NFL Draft, taken by the then-Oakland Raiders in 1973. 

He played his entire 14-year career with the Raiders and averaged 42.4 yards per punt over that span.

He led the league in punting in three of his seasons and finished second three times. He was named to seven Pro Bowls, made the All-Pro team six times, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014.
