Former Indianapolis Colts punter Hunter Smith is running for office. He was a fan favorite, as a former Notre Dame graduate, and chose to stay in Indiana after his playing career ended. He was with the Colts from 1999 to 2008 and had a solid career, highlighted by earning a spot on the NFL All-Rookie Team in 1999.
Smith was known primarily as a placement punter and did a nice job of keeping opponents inside their own 20 to start their offensive drives. He played 182 games, punted 691 times for 29,704 yards (an average of nearly 43 yards per punt), and had a career-long punt of 69 yards.
