Have there ever been players who were known as being elite in some super niche/specific roles? (alien.top)

I'm not talking about a kicker, or a punter, or even like a short yardage back or something. Has there ever been a guy who was known for being an elite gunner (guy on the punting team who tries to down the ball on a punt that isn't fielded by a returner)? Or a special teams tackler? Or long snapper? I don't even know if people pay attention to things like this; just curious.

Taysom Hill seems pretty niche.
