Ray Guy, the first punter to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, died Thursday. The Raider legend was 72.
Southern Mississippi, where Guy starred before becoming the first punter ever taken in the first round of the NFL draft, said he died following a lengthy illness. He had been receiving care in a Hattiesburg-area hospice.
Guy was selected to the NFL’s 75th anniversary team and the 1970′s all-decade team. He was a three-time Super Bowl champion and seven-time Pro Bowl selection. Guy played defensive back for the Golden Eagles and still shares the school single-season record for most interceptions with eight in 1972. His 61-yard field goal at Utah State that season set an NCAA record at the time.
Guy ended his NFL career in 1986 with a streak of 619 punts without having one blocked. But it took nearly three decades for him to be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
