28. I’m not really the kind of guy that likes to put kickers and punters on lists like this. But Ray Guy wasn’t just any punter, he was special enough to take in the first round. Guy could send the ball to orbit as a punter but he was also an athlete that could play football.
<p>He was a quarterback in high school and college and had a big arm to throw the ball down the field. Guy played the scout team quarterback when the Raiders played against Dan Fouts and the San Diego Chargers. The Raiders also trusted him to be the team’s emergency quarterback.</p>
<p>When needed, they called on Guy to throw some passes out of fake punt situations. Guy could also run if the team needed to but he was special as a punter. He’s the reason we pay attention to hangtime, not just distance and his accuracy often had opponents near their own goalline.</p>
<p>And if the opposing punt returner got away from the coverage unit, he could make the tackle. Guy is now the No. 2 punter in Raiders history and made seven Pro Bowls and three All Pros. He punted for all three of the Super Bowl Winning teams and he’s the first punter in the history inducted into the Hall of Fame.</p>. . . Ray Guy. 6. team
