Good for GUY! Finally.
Did Guy not make it his first chance? He should have.
Aeneas Williams was a great defensive back and is an even better person.
Williams, Humphrey and of course Guy were all great picks.
Ray Guy was more than a punter. He was an artiste, back fromwhen the Raiders were fun. Biletnikoff, and that guy with the stickum) and even Mark Van Eeghan made for a great team to watch.
Also note that Manning just won MVP, and deservedly so.
Guy could pin that ball like no other I have ever seen. I can not simply understand why todays punters cant punt for the coffin corner like he could.
Guy should have been elected a long time ago. Strahan got in only because he played in New York. He was good, but not Hall of Fame good.
Not like the Baseball Hall of Fame is it? I’ve never heard of a lot several of these players,and I’m about an average fan I’d guess.
Agreed, and I'll add my disappointment that Jerome Bettis was passed over again (4th time). There just is no excuse for that IMHO.
Southern Miss bttt
If I remember correctly, Ray Guy was also a devastating last man on punt coverage and could lay a mean hit on a punt returner.
I’d have voted for Will Shields over Aeneas Williams. Williams deserves to go some year, but Shields made the Pro Bowl 12 times to 6 for Williams.
I’m happy to see Ray Guy finally get in.
>>>>>>>”Joining the long-time Oakland Raider were two first-time eligible players, linebacker Derrick Brooks and offensive tackle Walter Jones.
The class of 2014 also included defensive end Michael Strahan, receiver Andre Reed, defensive back Aeneas Williams and defensive end Claude Humphrey, who like Guy was a senior selection.”>>>>>>>>>>
Dungy and Marvin Harrison snubbed?
It always gets my goat how today's writers... 
never know any history about what they write about. In this instance, they forgot that Yale Lary was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979 after playing for the Detroit Lions from 1952 to 1964. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_Lary:
"Lary won punting titles in 1959, 1961 and 1963, missing another one in 1962 by just 3.6 inches. A year he didn't win, 1960, Detroit opponents averaged less than one yard per return on his punts. From the end zone, Lary could consistently punt past midfield with enough hang time to let the coverage team get downfield and do its work. According to Paul Hornung in 2004, he was the best punter ever.
"Once, Lary had a string of six games and 32 punts with no returns, and he had just four punts blocked out of 503 in his career. Lary also returned kickoffs in 1952-53 and 1956, scored three times on punt returns (longest: 74 yards in 1953), was named All-NFL four times and played in nine Pro Bowls. Lary was also a member of the All-Decade Team of the 1950s."
Granted, Lary also played Free Safety but it was his punting abilities that got him into the NFL Hall of Fame.
Congrats to Claude Humphrey, a great Falcon from back in the day. And all the other inductees too.
Russell Erxleben continues to be denied his rightful entry in to the HoF. (I just like saying his last name)
