After leading the NFL in punting during his first full season in 2013, punter Marquette King followed that up with an equally impressive 2014 campaign.
The Fort Valley State product set single-season franchise records for punts (109) and yards (4,930), and people around the league took note as King was ranked No. 9 on Bleacher Report’s list of Top 32 Punters.
According to Matt Miller, Bleacher Report’s NFL Draft Lead Writer, punters around the league were evaluated on “punt placement accuracy (45 points) and punt power (50), plus five points for their value as starters or backups,” and using these metrics King ranked ahead of veteran kickers such as Sam Koch, Jon Ryan and former Raider Shane Lechler.
