Pro Football Hall of Famer Raymond Berry, the legendary Baltimore Colts wide receiver, has passed away at the age of 93, per @AdamSchefter.

Berry was widely considered one of the greatest receivers in NFL history, known for his precise route-running and reliable hands. During his 13-season career with the Colts, he formed one of the most iconic duos in football history alongside quarterback Johnny Unitas. Berry was a central figure in the 1958 NFL Championship Game, often called "The Greatest Game Ever Played," where he recorded 12 receptions for 178 yards.

A six-time Pro Bowler and three-time First-team All-Pro, Berry led the NFL in receiving yards and touchdowns multiple times before being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1973. Following his playing career, he also served as a head coach, notably leading the New England Patriots to an appearance in Super Bowl XX.
