When a conversation about the greatest wide receivers and pass catchers in football history, the name of Raymond Berry is certain to arise. We spoke to an author who co-wrote a biography with the player himself, on number 82 of the Baltimore Colts. Wayne Stewart and Ray Berry's book is titled Raymond Berry: All the Moves I Had: A Football Life at most online bookstores, including Amazon, Check out his other great titles on Sports History as well! Also see SunburyPress.com

Raymond Berry’s football career is a testament to the power of hard work and determination. Drafted in the 20th round of the 1954 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Colts, Berry defied expectations and carved a Hall of Fame career.

Despite a relatively unassuming college football career, Berry’s precise route running, sure hands, and unwavering dedication quickly made him a valuable asset to the Colts.  

Partnering with legendary quarterback Johnny Unitas, Berry formed one of the most formidable passing duos in NFL history. His ability to consistently make tough catches, even in tight coverage, made him a go-to target for Unitas. Throughout his 13-year career, Berry led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards three times, earning six Pro Bowl appearances and two NFL championships.  

Beyond his on-field accomplishments, Berry’s impact on the game extended to coaching. He served as head coach of the New England Patriots from 1984 to 1989, leading the team to its first Super Bowl appearance in 1985. His legacy as a player and coach solidified his place as one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history.
