Thirteen drafts ago, the Kansas City Chiefs submitted an oddity on an official card announcing their selection in the third round. In that 2005 NFL Draft, the Chiefs decided they would take a punter among the top 100 choices—a sight as rare then as it is today.
The reason the Chiefs decided to go against the grain and take a punter is because Dustin Colquitt was a rare performer at the position. That vision for what he could be has proven true as the veteran remains a Pro Bowl performer nearly 15 years later. Now on the expiration of yet another contract extension, the Chiefs have made it clear they still don’t want Colquitt to go anywhere.
