"He's the first punter you could look at and say, 'He won games.' - Joe Horrigan, Pro Football Hall of Fame Historian

"When we first drafted him, it was a heck of a choice." I thought he could be the greatest in the league, but I changed my mind. I think Ray proved he's the best of all-time." - John Madden, former Raiders head coach

"Quite simply the only choice as Punter for the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team." - Greg Garber, Author of "Inside Football" & ESPN Football Commentator

"Think back over the history of any sport. Very often there has been one guy who stood out above the superstars, just as Ray Guy stands out in punting. It just happens." - Tex Schraam, former Dallas Cowboys President

"He was an expert in the arcane area of "hang time," the precious time the ball was in the air, allowing the coverage to assemble around the returner. If you accept the idea in physics that there is only so much energy to propel a kick, Guy was willing to sacrifice distance for height." -- Greg Garber, Author of "Inside Football" -- Award-Winning Investigative Sports Journalist and ESPN Football Commentator

"I was never much on hang time until we got Ray. But then we started clocking how long his punt hung up in the air. Sometimes he kept it up there as long as six seconds!" - John Madden, ABC Monday Night Football /Former Coach

"Those who earn their living in pro football say he's the finest punter in the history of the world." - "The Sporting News"
