    He was a great punter back in the day when having a great punter really meant something.

    I can’t remember any punters names before him. A Hall of fame player at a position that, when I was growing up, wasn’t taken too seriously. He set a very high standard. RIP.

    If Riley Dixon has one more punt blocked this season he'll equal the number Guy had blocked in his entire career, with over 1000 punts

    Folks thought the Raiders were crazy when they drafted him in the 1st round. He is in both the College and NFL hall of fame.

    He was great at pinning the opponent before the 20-yard line. Rarely had his punts blocked. Punters today study his films because he had great mechanics.
