Raymond Berry
Hands of glue, transformed heart
by Dennis Pollock
One of the most unlikely men to ever attain to pro football's Hall of Fame, Raymond Berry's life and career is an enigma that defies explanation. Berry was as far from the stereotype of the professional athlete as it is possible to get. He didn't look like a football player or act like one. His mild and self-disciplined personality seemed more suited to a university setting than to the rough and rowdy pro football locker rooms he inhabited for his thirteen year career. His teammate Alan Ameche noted, "Everybody wondered what Berry was doing here. He had one leg shorter than the other, wore contact lenses, was barely 185 pounds, didn't have speed, and wasn't particularly strong."
Most pro athletes were standouts in college, but Berry didn't even start for his college team until his senior year. He was drafted in the twentieth round by the Baltimore Colts, a new franchise desperately in need of players in almost every position. No other team in the league had the slightest interest in him.
