124. <p>Mr. consistent is back at it again. Dustin Colquitt is a punter who you know will be reliable no matter what happens, and thatwill be the case this year as he enters his 11th season in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs. This guy is not going anywhere and is a major asset to Andy Reid and the whole team with his ability to switch the field position.</p> <p>Last year, Colquitt averaged 44.6 yards per punt, nailing 31 of his 71 punts inside the 20 yard line, and it was actually a drop-off from what he had done the previous three years. A Pro-Bowl punter in 2012, Colquitt doing that alone still makes him one of the elite kickers or punters in all of the NFL.</p> <p>Colquitt already has nearly three times as many punts inside the 20 for his career as any Chiefs punter ever, and he is two seasons away from being the all-time leading punter in the franchise’s history. He also will be the reliable holder for field goal kicks, so he does exactly what is necessary on special teams.</p> <p>And he is one of the longest tenured Chiefs players as well.</p> <p>As a punter, Colquitt has established himself as a leader for the team, taking press conferences and working with young guys. This guy is a star. And once again, there will be no questions about what he can do this year for the Chiefs.</p> <p>We are all pretty sure he will average his reliable 45 yards per punt and nail quite a few inside the 20, which is what puts him on this list.</p>. Punter. Kansas City Chiefs. Dustin Colquitt. 9. player
