Raymond Lewis Hare (November 21, 1917 – June 2, 1975) was an American football running back in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins and the Brooklyn Tigers. Hare also played in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) for the New York Yankees.[1] He attended Gonzaga University.
