Two words: Ray Guy. Back in the day, the Raiders had a punter whose hang time was measured with a calendar. It prompted speculation that the ball was filled with helium or the like to give it more "lift" when he kicked. More than a few fans went to or watched games just to see how far (high) he could kick the ball with his next effort. He was that good. In fact, when it was fourth and long and the Oakland (the then-home of the Raiders) kicking team came on the field to give up the football, some people still saw the Raiders as being on offense! Ray was a 7-time Pro Bowler and won (with his teammates) 3 Super Bowls. When the Silver and Black got Ray Guy, they hung onto him. He was never traded. And in all his professional career as a punter, he never had a punt returned for a TD. Ever. The Wikipedia article is a short one, and is worth the read. A link has been punted over to you to get you started. Fair catch it if you must, but don't fumble it. ---- Good stuff above and I will add to it one of Guy's Raiders teammates ... placekicker George Blanda. I remember one season, sometime in the early 1970s, when Blanda made four or five last minute kicks to win or tie games (no overtime then). Not bad for a guy in his mid 40s. Also can't forget Jan Stenerud of the Chiefs, Packers, and Vikings who played between 1967-1985. He is one of only three placekickers to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Lou Groza and Blanda are the others).
