~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ A Hall of Fame tight end at The Citadel, Maguire led the nation in touchdown receptions in 1959. In 1960, he was selected as an original Los Angeles Charger, where he was a punter and linebacker. Maguire joined the Buffalo Bills in 1963 and was an ace at the "coffin corner" punt. He contributed to three Bills' Eastern Division titles, and their American Football League championships in 1964 and 1965. He was involved in one of the most spectacular plays in Bills' history in the 1965 American Football League Championship game against the Chargers. Butch Byrd took a John Hadl punt and with outstanding blocking, took it 74 yards for a TD. The last two blocks were by Maguire, crushing two Chargers. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Maguire played in six of the AFL's ten title games - three with the Chargers and three with the Bills, and he was the league's all-time punter in punts and yardage. He was one of only twenty players who were in the AFL for its entire ten-year existence. After his retirement he was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame, the Youngstown, Ohio Sports Hall of Fame, and the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Beginning in the 1970s, Maguire worked as a color commentator on network NFL telecasts, first with NBC and then ESPN. He also called ESPN's telecasts of the now-defunct USFL. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
