Free Agent Punter Marquette King Appreciates The Love From Steelers Nation

The name that appeared in my timeline the most this week wasn’t James Conner, a man coming off a 100 yard, one touchdown performance. It wasn’t Cam Heyward, who bullied the Browns’ offensive line and shut down their run game. It wasn’t Minkah Fitzpatrick, whose pick six squashed all concerns that he was lazy/hurt/abducted by aliens and replaced with a far less instinctive clone.

The name that come up most wasn’t even a Steeler. Or on a team. It was free agent punter Marquette King and boy does Steelers’ Nation want to see him in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh’s punt game has oscillated from “meh” to “oh god please don’t punt again this year” 2020 has been more of that second group, Dustin Colquitt ranking near the bottom in gross average and tied for dead last in net average.
