Patrick Roll LOL! Sorry. It slipped my mind. I don't usually make a habit of remembering punters. I remember Sean Landeta, Brad Maynard, Mike Horan, Jeff Feagles, and Matt Dodge.That's about it lol.
Patrick Roll Lol! Yeah. Matt fricken Dodge. That guy was AWFUL! I'll never forget that stupid loss to Philly in 2010 because he punted the ball right to Jackson. What a dip shit lol
*I was at Yankee Stadium when this game was played. The Yankees were supposed to play the Red Sox that night, but they were rained out. It was going to be Roger Clemens against Pedro Martinez. So I went to Stan's across the street to watch the Giants blow this game. Ed McCaffrey broke his leg. Then I went to work. The next morning was 9/11.*
Remember that he broke his hand and they had him punting with it wrapped He also ran a 4.5 40 but fucked up and decided to fake and run for a first on his own
You took the words right out of my keyboard,ericradford,but that was still a boomer.NINETY-ONE yards,EIGHTY in the air. Probably the NFL'S most powerful punt ever.
Everytime I tell people, yeah Rodney Williams from GT had a huge punt for the Giants! 90+ yards!? Then I look up the play, find it here, and remember exactly what day it was just by seeing that field and knowing the broadcast... and then go… “Oh shittttt that’s right..” 😢🤯
I'll never forget. Watching this on afn and riding in the Mediterranean to Gaeta Italy. That next morning in Port the towers came down in New York city
I remember this game. I remember Shaun Williams' hit on Ed McCaffrey. And I remember this punt by this rookie. Thought he'd be punting bombs for a long time.
Awesome video. Thanks for the great comments guys. I can tell you it was more of a great kick than it was the air or wind. The return man, Delta O'Neal was one of the best at the time and he judged the kick the best he could. Check the history, more punts over 50 yards than any other punter in an NFL season.
I remember watching that game. I was in shock like did that just happen and it took a minute to register. Randall Cunningham might be the greatest black punter
@@thegreatgumbino420 *Correct, but Randall Cunningham actually had a number of punts in his career, the longest being 90 yards. That particular one was against the Giants.*
I still remember watching this game. Read up about him (black punter - caught my eye). Turns out he had some accident or another in HS which gave the options of quitting football altogether or being its punter. Well, he got himself to the NFL. Commentators believed his athleticism could allow great fake punt opportunities. Was kinda surprised his career didn't pan out too well.
6400az bounced around for about 6, 7 years before official retirement in '07. I think I recall hearing something about injury. I do remember doing some quick Google searches awhile back but not coming up with much.
bigblue999 So what excuse does every other punter that has played there have? Thin air or not your looking at the record for the Ny Giants and Monday Night Football. RW also holds the record for most punts over 50 yards in a single season.
The next day, America would never be the same.
Kicked it around the 1, lands on the 19. 80 yards in the air - that was impressive.
9/10/2001 - the day before the world would change forever
For the life of me, I cannot remember Rodney Williams lol
+MrBaddog7676 Was thinking the same thing.
+MrBaddog7676 how can you not remember like the only black punter in giants history
Patrick Roll LOL! Sorry. It slipped my mind. I don't usually make a habit of remembering punters. I remember Sean Landeta, Brad Maynard, Mike Horan, Jeff Feagles, and Matt Dodge.That's about it lol.
MrBaddog7676 haha no worries thats the only reason I remember him... fricken Matt Dodge..

Rodney was Kicking like this back in High School. Had to be there to see it WOW !! SWD
Man, I was so excited for Williams after this - too bad he struggled to get it away in time too often. Dude had an insane leg.
Remember that he broke his hand and they had him punting with it wrapped

A day before disaster
I'll never forget. Watching this on afn and riding in the Mediterranean to Gaeta Italy. That next morning in Port the towers came down in New York city
Day before 9/11
I remember this game. I remember Shaun Williams' hit on Ed McCaffrey. And I remember this punt by this rookie. Thought he'd be punting bombs for a long time.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Williams_(punter)
He got injured later his rookie year or he would have been the next Ray Guy.
I totally forgot this game was on September TENTH. Remembered the punt, just forgot WHEN it actually happened. Ugh. :(
Back when Al Michaels actually cared.
Wasn't this game the day before 9/11?
yes
morrieswigs Aren't your wigs tested against hurricane winds?
TheGodYouWishYouKnew yes, I was tired of wigs that came off at the wrong time
you are correct. the day before 9/11.
Saved thousands of lives this game.... Giants played late... people slept in... thank God for the Giants playing on this night
Awesome video. Thanks for the great comments guys.

Williams was the fourth black punter in NFL history,and this was (I believe) the fourth 90-yard or farther punt.
He would have been greater than Ray Guy. Every year at GT he did it every weekend!!
this was the day before 9/11, wow
I remember watching that game. I was in shock like did that just happen and it took a minute to register. Randall Cunningham might be the greatest black punter
...how about him being the greatest punter...black or white
Reggie Roby would clock his own hangtime as he punted each time …..he is second greatest punter in NFL behind HOF Ray Guy
@@jamesvickers9476 i dont consider him the greatest. Theres better punters.
Randall Cunningham was not a punter

2006unsw And 12 hours later, 9/11 happened. Crazy stuff.
+2006unsw What ever happened to him ?

+2006unsw I went to school with him at Georgia Tech .... He was a freak!!!!! Could have been the best punter in NFL History!!!!
cjspeedster What was he a freak in, all around athlete , or just punting. Tell us more man...)
Of course greedy NFL has to place an ad on a 56 second video 🙄.
Like Ray Guy 0:52
You can definitely blame the Mile High air for this one.

I’ll blame Jason Elams career then on the air
80 yards on the fly.
What happened to this power punter?
Inconsistencies made his career short-lived.
Played only 1 season(2001.)
he recently just came to my hotel! he works for a lighting company i got to meet him really cool guy
