For all of Ray Guy’s accomplishments in college and in the NFL, the one he might be most famous for was a quirky little event during a Pro Bowl in the Louisiana Superdome.
“That’s the single thing I get asked about the most,” said the former Raiders punter.
That thing was a punt that Guy rocketed skyward toward the roof that Monday night of Jan. 26, 1976. The ball climbed like a jet on takeoff. It was still ascending when it struck the overhanging gondola and video screen, some 90 feet above, before the ball tumbled back down on to the field.
No one had ever done that.
“It was nothing like ... pre-planned,” Guy recalled.

Only punter I know of drafted in the first round.
Guy was a hell of an athlete and could have played elsewhere had his punting career not worked out.
