Not punt return, a 100 yard punt. Yes, it bounces and rolls, but it went nearly 70 yards in the air. Not sure what his avg is and he's always booming 50+ yard kicks or if this was an anomaly, but still kind of cool vid. http://www.maxpreps.com/news/fqzt6h...-high-school-punter-smashes-100-yard-punt.htm
Donnie Jones came fairly close to this one year while we were playing @Central. Must of been at least 80-85 yards.
I think Ray Guy punted one 99 yards that stopped dead on the one yard line when he was with the Raiders
Ray Guy is the Chuck Norris of punting. Even if there is no record that he did it, he did it, cause he is Ray Guy.
Bum Phillips once took a ball Guy had kicked to Rice University to have analyzed to see if it contained helium
He was a football player converted to punter/kicker bc he was so gifted. He was also a placekicker at Southern Mississippi, once kicking a then-record 61-yard field goal in a snowstorm during a game in Utah. In 1972 he kicked a 93-yard punt in a game against the University of Mississippi. After his senior season at Southern Miss, Guy was named Most Valuable Player of the 1973 Chicago College All-Star Game, in which an all-star team of college seniors played the current Super Bowl champion. He was also a starting safety at Southern Miss; during his senior season, he intercepted a USM record eight passes, and was named an All-American defensive back. Guy also played quarterback in his early years; for much of his career he was the Raiders' emergency quarterback, replacing kicker-quarterback George Blanda in this position. During the early part of Guy's career, he would occasionally do kickoffs for the Raiders because the aging Blanda no longer had great range. At the 1976 Pro Bowl, Guy became the first punter to hit the Louisiana Superdome video screen. Officials raised the screen from 90 feet to 200 feet. The NFC team pulled the ball and had it tested for helium; it was filled with regular air.
Cool write up. I got my undergrad at Southern MS and knew Ray Guy was punter from here way back in the day, but had no clue he was also an All American safety.
