14. Marquette King

The man who was tasked with replacing one of the best punters of his era in Shane Lechler, Marquette King has quickly proven that he will be able to carry the torch as the next great punter for the Raiders.

An athletic punter known for having one of the most powerful legs in the league, King quickly stepped into the punter role after beating out Chris Kluwe in 2013 training camp. Exciting the league as one of the most physical punters in NFL history as King’s booming punts are always a good highlight as the Raiders punter can flip field position in a hurry.

Expect more booming punts from King in 2016 as the now veteran Raiders punter is on his way to reaching Ray Guy and Shane Lechler status in Oakland. King is the star of the Raiders special teams group at this point and it is always a thrill to get to watch him punt. Even if it comes after a failed drive from the Raiders offense.
