Arrowhead Pride
The punter spent 15 seasons playing in Kansas City.
According to a post on their official X account, the Kansas City Chiefs have signed former punter Dustin Colquitt to a one-day contract, allowing him to retire as a member of the Chiefs.
Taken out of Tennessee in the third round (76th overall) in the 2005 NFL Draft, Colquit served as the Chiefs’ punter for 15 seasons (twice being named to the Pro Bowl) before he was released following the team’s Super Bowl LIV victory.
The team also posted a video of his highlights.
In the two seasons after his release, Colquitt spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers (where his father Craig Colquitt punted from 1978 through 1984), the Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns.
Now 43 years old, he has not played since 2021.
Let’s recall what he posted on Instagram after Kansas City released him in April of 2020.
“I have enjoyed my time in Chiefs Kingdom. All things come to an end — sometimes sooner than you hoped, prayed and pleaded for them to.
“I’ll miss walking into the building and smelling the coffee [and] talking to everyone. It took me forever to weave through some of the most loving people you’d ever hope to work with. I was a young kid when I first walked into Arrowhead. Hell, the indoor facility used to be 70 yards long. Holding this post for 15 years has been an honor that I never took for granted.
Thank you KC.”
Thank you, Dustin!
