Roby attended the University of Iowa, where he played for the Iowa Hawkeyes football team from 1979 to 1982. Despite the fact that he had experience at quarterback and possessed a strong arm, Hawkeyes head coach Hayden Fry made the 6’4″, 250-pounder a punter and kick-off specialist, also using him for long range field goals. Before Roby arrived, the Hawkeyes had not had a winning season in 20 years. With Roby, the 1981 team earned its first Rose Bowl invitation in 23 years on the strength of a 6-2 conference record (8-4 overall) and co-Big Ten championship with Ohio State. Roby set an NCAA season record with a 49.8-yard average. In 1982, he led the nation with a 48.1-yard average. His career average of 45.4 yards ranks among college football’s best and is still a school record.

As a professional, his 38.7 net average led the league in 1986, and his 45.7 average yards led the NFL in 1991, and he set a Pro Bowl record with 10 punts in the 1985 game. His 58.5-yard single-game average on September 28, 1986 remains a Dolphin team record. At Rich Stadium, Roby punted the ball a team record 77 yards, but the punt was returned 70 yards. He completed the only pass attempt of his career, a 48-yarder to John Booty in 1995. Roby was selected as a punter for the NFL’s 1980s All-Decade Team. In the Dolphins 1992 divisional round 31-0 win over the San Diego Chargers, he planted 4 of his 8 punts inside the Chargers 20-yard line, including 3 inside the 7. Roby played in Super Bowl XIX with the Dolphins, though he had a rather lousy day, averaging just 39.3 yards per kick and failing to put any of his 7 punts inside the 20. “I was trying to kill the ball, and I kicked it bad”, said Roby after the game. “I didn’t hit one well. I was scared — scared to make a mistake. It was the worst game of my life, counting high school, college, counting everything.” Dolphins coach Don Shula said following the game “We’re supposed to have the best punter in the football, but today, he didn’t punt like he was the best.” However, it is notable that despite Miami’s #1 ranked offense during the 1984 season, which set numerous NFL records, he still made the Pro Bowl that year.

He had four children, Jovita Jovita Julian and Sophia.
