Arguably one of the most fun seasons of football to watch for any punting enthusiest, the energy Marquette brought to every game and play was unmatched and he was just a walking, talking and Dancing Highlight Machine.

    Not a good day when your punter is having the best game of his career

    As a lifelong Raiders fan I was disappointed that they didn’t keep King! But as a Raiders fan I know that that organization will never fail to disappoint.
  • @TheResse561
    That was an extremely interesting video. I’ve never heard someone speak so enthusiastically about punting. In fact, I’ve never heard anyone talking about punting at all.

    For a time when i couldn't understand why my dad loved the raiders so much (considering they sucked and still do) I really gained my own love for the team watching KICKERS play. Yea, we had Darren McFadden, Charles Woodson, etc... but I loved seeing Sebastian Janikowski, and the only Black punter I've ever seen. When I first started getting into football it was kind of a stereotype that kickers are always those much less athletic, wimpy looking white guys, but are still very vital to the team. When i saw King, as a black child, i was blown away cause he brought a whole different swag to the position for me. My favorite part about watching him is he looked good and he played good. I think watching Sebastian Janikowski break record field goals and then seeing King do his thing is one of my favorite parts of watching the raiders on the old field. I never got to go to a game on that field... It was my dream. :(

    Marquette King was the only Punter people actually liked using in Madden, especially in Ultimate Team😂😂😂
  • @liquiiiddd
    Punting is so overlooked and undervalued. In a game (nfl specifically) where wins are decided by slim marigins all the time, the ability to effect the other team's field position is huge.

    I'm a lifelong Bills fan and that celebration was what made me fall in love with Marquette King tbh
  • @mattharriss3835
    I've never understood why the NFL just let him go. He was incredible. I watched him dominate game after game in StL with the BattleHawks... people would show up just to watch him. We had a section called King's Corner. I always told him he is my favorite punter ever... and probably always will be.

    It's nice to know, there are people out there, that ACTUALLY enjoy special teams 😂
  • @randywalton747
    He was very good, seemed like the NFL didn't like him....
  • @UnderGroundKnox
    This was the only time in history that a punter was exciting and made you wanna tune in. Loved it.
  • Marquette was a college wide receiver and just punted for fun until the coaches saw him blast a ball across the field. They made him choose remain as 4th string wide out or switch to starting punter. So he wasn't on any teams radar. There's audio of the Dallas sideline screaming FAKE! when he ran out on the field. You should try to get an interview with him, Isaac

    nothing better than a good punter. King was great. was still great even in the xfl.
  • @eternalgamers10
    King was something else to watch it was a nice breath of fresh air to watch a punter for once. Too bad no other team after his stint with the broncos didn't gave him a chance.
  • @klmbaby6
    King will go down as definitely the fastest punter in the NFL history. That play where he had to run with the ball he was actually out running the kick return team down the sidelines lol
  • @deakon071
    Probably not a guy that you can find much on but Kyle Basler was a punter for Washington State in the early 2000's. Guy was an animal. Played football against him in Pop Warner and he was a phenomenal running back in high-school. Still surprised he never stuck in the NFL.
