Might as well add Sammy Baugh to that list.  I still can't believe he averaged 51.4 yards per punt one year...

Baugh was an incredible all around player, but his punting statistics are highly misleading. Many of his kicks came on third down in an era when offenses were limited and field position was critical; he would surprise the defense and punt it downfield where the ball would roll unimpeded. Of course many years later Walt Harris would unfortunately be inspired by Baugh's tactic.

Ray Guy is indeed the only Hall of Famer who was exclusively a punter (although he was the Raiders' emergency QB).

Trivia question for CowboyIndian, Phogge or Bob K: how is Yale Lary connected to Stanford?
