4. Raymond Berry

When you think of the Baltimore Colts, you think of two players first. First you think of Johnny Unitas and then you think of Raymond Berry. Berry and Unitas had a special connection that led to incredible results on the football field. From 1955-1967 Berry played with the Colts. He still owns some NFL records including the most catches in a championship game; yes he caught 12 passes in a championship game. The 6’2″ 187 pound receiver had unbelievable body control.

Berry caught 631 receptions for 9,275 yards and 68 touchdowns in his career. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1973. He and Unitas had a chemistry that was so unique and special. Unitas basically invented the two minute drill with passes to Berry. Berry gets overlooked in the conversation of the best receivers of all time. He could give the best players from today a run for their money. He was a once in a lifetime kind of player that was just dominant.

This was back in a day when pass interference was called much more conservatively than it is now. It was harder to be a receiver in Berry’s era of football. He had to fly on the football field, and his body took a beating throughout his career. He was the best receiver that Baltimore ever had on either team.
