Not many punters get drafted, but Reggie Roby did in 1983, when the Dolphins selected the Iowa product in the sixth round. He quickly established himself as one of the league’s better punters, using a powerful leg and a distinctive two-step approach to boom kicks with consistency. As a rookie, he already averaged over 43 yards per punt, and he only improved.

He earned Pro Bowl selections after the 1984 and 1989 seasons and was named first-team All-Pro in 1984. Roby regularly ranked among the league leaders in yards per punt early in his Miami career and led the NFL with a 45.7 average in 1991. His hang time and distance made him a reliable field-position weapon for the Dolphins throughout the decade, and he set a franchise single-game average record with a 58.5-yard effort in 1986. He also once punted 77 yards in a game, a team mark at the time.

The Dolphins released him after the 1992 season amid declining performance and contract issues. In 10 seasons with Miami, he punted 555 times for more than 24,000 yards. His production during those years later earned him a spot on the NFL’s 1980s All-Decade Team.
