On Sunday, punter Dustin Colquitt will play in his 225th regular-season game as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Drafted by the team in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft, Colquitt, 37, has already played in more games for a single team than any other punter in NFL history. But after Sunday, he will have played in more games than any other player in Chiefs history — surpassing the record of 224 games set by Hall of Fame guard Will Shields, who retired after the 2006 season.
Now in his 15th season with the team, Colquitt has been around long enough to have been one of Shields’ teammates.
