Raymond Vincent Buivid (August 15, 1915 – July 5, 1972) was an American professional football player who played quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Chicago Bears. He was nicknamed "Buzz".
A versatile player, Buivid played quarterback, halfback, and defensive back for the Marquette Golden Avalanche football team. He threw 13 touchdowns his junior year (1935). In 1936, he finished third in the voting for the Heisman Trophy. He was a consensus All-American as a halfback, though he completed over 50% of his passes as quarterback as well. Marquette finished 20th in the country, and played in their first ever bowl game, the first Cotton Bowl Classic. They lost 16–6 to TCU led by Sammy Baugh.
Buivid was drafted in the first round with the third overall pick in the 1937 NFL Draft. He is the highest drafted player out of Marquette.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account.
