Pro football legend Raymond Berry visited with the Georgia State football staff Tuesday to share expertise and experiences from his standout playing and coaching career.

Berry, a teammate of Panther head coach Bill Curry with the Baltimore Colts, shared expertise and experience from his playing career as one of the top receivers in NFL history and from his long coaching career, which was highlighted by a trip to the Super Bowl as head coach of the New England Patriots.

"I had the blessng to be on a team with Raymond in what was his last year in the league and one of my early years," said Curry. "He is one of those ageless warriors who keeps the same principles and the same excellence, and we've enjoyed a long friendship."

Berry was voted one of the 50 greatest NFL players of all-time by Sporting News, leaving the NFL in 1967 as the league's all-time leader in pass receptions (631) after 13 seasons. The Texas native led the NFL in receptions three times and was voted to six Pro Bowls. In his 13 years as an NFL wide receiver, he lost just two fumbles (one in his second year, one in his eighth year). A student of the game, Berry's own count proviced him 88 different moves to get open for a pass and to run routes within inches of how they were meant to be run. He was quickly voted into the Hall of Fame in 1973.

As a head coach, Berry became the first to win three NFL playoff games on the road and advance to the Super Bowl, when his 1985 Patriots did so.
