Ray Guy made the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a punter.
You can sum up his greatness in that one statement. Punters don't get the same level of respect as those who play offense or defense, but Guy did. He is considered the greatest punter ever, the template for the position since he broke in with the Oakland Raiders nearly five decades ago. The award given to the best punter in college football is the Ray Guy Award, which is telling.
Guy died at age 72, according to the NFL and University of Southern Mississippi.
