Beat me to it. As a Bills fan, I saw a lot of Reggie Roby. (I still recall that his legs were enormous even for a football player, much less a punter.)

I remember a game circa 1979 between EKU and Jackson State, which today would be described as a “historically black university”. I looked across the field to the JSU sideline and every single player was black, except one - the punter.

The Dolphins also had a kicker back in the 80s named Igwebuike. He was from Nigeria, I think. They may have had both a black punter AND a black kicker at the same time.

America’s greatest living intellectual. I am currently reading his book, “Wealth, Poverty, and Politics: An International Perspective”. It summarizes a lot of his earlier work on geographic and cultural influences on prosperity, while incorporating new information from the last few years.

I got it at the public library. Dr. Sowell has the FACTS about things.

I stopped reading Sowell after his National Review anti-Trump rant. I’ve read most of his books, but I’ve removed them from my library shelf. Sowell does not exist for me anymore. Very sad, very sad. I’ve still got Milton Friedman.

Great article about Igwebuike thanks for posting.
First Clemson career FG from 52 yards, talk about being put to the test early, and killing it.

Reggie was unreal in college for Iowa. Alas he was too good for rest of team and coaches weren’t good enough to get him to sacrifice distance for hang time there. Our cover guys were slow so once the return men learned to start 20 yards further back they got good return coverage instead watching the ball sail WAY over their head. His senior year he set the then NCAA record with 49.8 yard season average. His average was over 50 until his final kick on a bitterly cold day dropped it below. He also kicked FGs early at Iowa but wasn’t accurate enough to keep that job. He certainly died too young. I also miss his line of excellent cookies!

Reggie Roby was one of the best. Ray Guy was another.
