The Detroit Lions have the best punter in the entire NFL early on this season

The Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted Ray Guy back in 2014. The first-round selection by the Oakland Raiders in 1973 became the first and only punter ever allowed a coveted spot in the Hall.

That’s to say over the long and storied history of the NFL, the position of punter is the Rodney Dangerfield of the league. No respect, no respect at all. Yet, the contributions of punters undoubtedly impact the game.
