Click through a quick write up on each candidate and then vote in the poll. I can make a pretty good guess as to who will win this one.
P Louie Aguiar 1994-1998
Aguiar played 10 seasons in the NFL including five with the Chiefs starting every game. Only one of his 421 punts was blocked. He had a 42.6 yard average in 80 games with the Chiefs.
Chris posted a 'Where are they now?' segment back in February of 2007. NBC Sports blog even listed him as the greatest player to wear #4 before Brett Favre.

P Lewis Colbert 1986-1987

P Case deBruijn 1982
An 8th round draft pick in 1982, Case has probably the most annoying last name for a blogger. His career totals include one game, five punts for 174 yards.

P Todd Sauerbrun 2000
He played just one of his 13 NFL seasons with the Chiefs. He had a nice 44.6 yards per punt average with the Chiefs and a career 44.1 average. Unfortunately he played for the Broncos for two seasons.
That, coupled with the fact that he was busted for taking steroids (yeah, he's a punter) makes it hard to like this guy.
