at Southern Miss, striking out 266 in 200 innings and pitching a no-hitter. Professional career Guy was the first punter ever to be selected in the first round in the NFL Draft, when the Oakland Raiders selected him with the 23rd overall pick of the 1973 draft. In his career as a punter, Guy played his entire career with the Raiders and was selected to seven Pro Bowl teams, including six in a row from 1973 to 1978. He was named as the punter on the NFL's 75th and 100th anniversary teams. His trademark was kicking punts that stayed in the air for long periods of time. Pro Football Hall of Fame historian Joe Horrigan once said of Guy, "He's the first punter you could look at and say: 'He won games.'" In Super Bowl XVIII, Guy punted seven times for 299 yards (42.7 average), with 244 net yards (34.8 average). Five of his punts pinned the Washington Redskins inside their own 20. Due in part to his effective punting, the Los Angeles Raiders easily won the game, 38–9. After a 1977 game against Houston, Oilers coach Bum Phillips accused Guy of using footballs illegally inflated with helium. Houston returner Billy Johnson stated that he had "never seen anyone hang kickoffs like Guy did", and that the ball was "hanging up there too long". Additionally, the Raiders had used a new ball for every punt, adding to the Oilers' suspicions. Phillips said after the game that he would send the ball to Rice University for testing. Guy punted three times for 107 yards in the game, slightly less than his career average. During his career, Guy was also the Raiders' emergency quarterback. He also handled kickoffs in the first five years of his career. In his 14-year career, Guy: Played in 207 consecutive games Punted 1,049 times for 44,493 yards, averaging 42.4 yards per punt, with a 33.8 net yards average Had 210 punts inside the 20-yard line (not counting his first 3 seasons, when the NFL did not keep track of this stat), with just 128 touchbacks Led the NFL in gross yards per punt three times Had a streak of 619 consecutive punts before having one blocked Has a record of 111 career punts in postseason games Hall of Fame Guy was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2014
