Raymond Berry, the Hall of Fame wide receiver and former New England Patriots coach, has passed away at 93. Berry, who played for the Baltimore Colts and led the team to two NFL championships, died peacefully at his residence in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, surrounded by loved ones.
Berry's remarkable career spanned 13 seasons, during which he earned six Pro Bowl honors and led the league in receptions and receiving yards on three occasions. He was also recognized as a member of the NFL's 100 all-time team and had his jersey number 82 retired by the Colts.
After retiring as a player, Berry went on to become a successful coach, leading the Patriots to Super Bowl XX in 1985. His legacy extends beyond his playing and coaching career, with the Ravens referring to him as 'a football icon' and stating that 'his impact on Baltimore sports and the NFL will endure forever.'
