RIP

Raymond Berry

As skilled a route running receiver who has ever played professional ball ... the greatest slow receiver in NFL History.
If I am not mistaken, only lost ONE career fumble? A great teammate and coach on the field. He and Unitas had telepathy on the gridiron.

difficult one. guilty of crimes, think, but cannot know for sure but some indication he overcame bad behavior. But was a fine player, a complementary receiver ... someone teams could not ignore while giving attention to their 'no 1' WR
