Five Things to Know About Dustin Colquitt from The Mothership
Four members of the Colquitt family made an impact on the field in the realm of punting.
Colquitt has been Kansas City's punter since 2005. His brother, Britton, plays in the AFC West division with the Denver Broncos.
Their father, Craig, punted from 1978 to 1987 with the Pittsburgh Steelers and has two Super Bowl rings (1978, 1979).
Jimmy Colquitt, Dustin's cousin, is the career leader in punting at the University of Tennessee, where the four Colquitts played in college.
Punting undoubtedly runs in Dustin's blood.

Senator criticizes National Guard sponsorship deals with NFL teams from ESPN
"You go to a game and you see a team honoring 'Hometown Heroes,' and you think it's some sort of public service announcement, that the team is doing it out of the goodness of their heart," Senator Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said to ESPN on Monday. "Then you find out it's paid for? That seems a little unseemly."
Federal contracts reveal that the U.S. Department of Defense from 2011 to 2014 paid $5.4 million for sponsorship deals with 14 NFL teams, many of which included in-game mentions. The size of the deals over the four-year period ranged from $20,000 paid to the Miami Dolphins to more than $1 million paid to the Atlanta Falcons.
Stadium salutes to military turn out to be ads from The Buffalo News
A closer look at the Defense Department statistics reported by NJ.com shows that 14 NFL teams were paid a total of $5.4 million in advertising from 2011 through 2014.
Besides the Bills, Falcons and Ravens, the other 11 teams were the Indianapolis Colts, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins.
Oddly enough, as some wags have asked, what was one of the 18 teams receiving no such advertising revenue?
The Chiefs took Chris Conley because they thought the Browns might from FOX Sports
"I had heard word that Cleveland had lunch with Chris the week earlier," general manager John Dorsey told told Soren Petro on 810 WHB Radio. "I knew they had liked him. I just thought it was worth the risk trading up a few spots to ensure we would be able to give these organization a very talented wide receiver."
Dorsey and Browns GM Ray Farmer didn't cross paths when the former was hired in 2013 and the latter moved on from his post as Chiefs director of pro personnel. But that didn't stop Dorsey from reading the situation -- and the Browns decision-maker -- perfectly.
Football Outsiders forecasts interesting AFC West race from ESPN
The Broncos, with a new coaching staff and an aging Manning, are indeed as vulnerable as they've been for some time. If they only get to 10-6 this season, that gives the Kansas City Chiefs a good chance to win, or at least tie for, the division title.
I think the Chiefs have a solid chance to get to 10 wins, though last month when the schedule was released I picked them to finish 9-7.
AFC West roundtable: Rookie impact from ESPN
With the 2015 NFL draft in the books and the league's rookies having joined the fray, it's a good time to take a look at where things stand in the AFC West.
So, we bounced a few questions off ESPN's NFL Nation reporters in the division -- Eric Williams in San Diego, Bill Williamson in Oakland, Adam Teicher in Kansas City and Jeff Legwold in Denver -- to get their thoughts on how everybody did in the selection weekend.

Chiefs historian reveals never-before-seen artifacts in new exhibit from KCTV5
Dozens of boxes and bins fill Moore's underground office at the underground storage facility called SubTropolis, a 1,100-acre manmade cave in the bluffs above the Missouri River in Kansas City.
Moore, who was the team's long-time spokesman, said there are memories tucked inside every box.
"It's a little bit of potpourri of everything that has to do with the franchise from its earliest days up until today," he said. "We have the helmet worn by Johnny Robinson in Super Bowl IV, shoes worn by Jamaal Charles when he set the team's rushing record in Denver, and one of the last jerseys worn in the AFL. It was worn in the 1970 All-Star game."
When you think you've seen it all, there is more. Moore has everything from old newspaper clippings, game film and even a note written by Kansas City Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt in 1959.
