About Ray Guy, Hall of Famer

Ray Guy was a punter who spent his entire NFL career with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders, becoming the first pure punter ever drafted in the first round when Oakland selected him 23rd overall in 1973. A first-team All-American at Southern Mississippi in 1972, Guy won three Super Bowls and earned eight Pro Bowl selections. He was named to the NFL's 75th and 100th anniversary teams and became the first punter inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014. His signature style involved punts that hung in the air for extended periods, effectively pinning opposing offenses deep in their own territory and helping the Raiders win games.

Did you know? During Super Bowl XVIII, Guy punted seven times for 299 yards, with five punts pinning the Washington Redskins inside their own 20-yard line as the Raiders dominated 38–9.
