After playing American football for the University of California as a quarterback, Wayne Crow played professionally for four seasons as a running back and punter for the Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills of the American Football League. In October 1961, he kicked a 77-yard punt to set a Raider record that wasn't broken until 50 years later, when Shane Lechler kicked an 80-yard punt in November 2011--two months after having tied Crow's record.
