Marquette King is one of the most notable former Broncos playing in the XFL this spring, even if he didn’t last long in Denver.
On the first weekend of XFL games, King was among several ex-Broncos who made headlines. Center Dillon Day went viral after dropping an F-bomb during a live sideline interview and safety Rahim Moore recorded the 10th interception of his professional career.
King now punts for the St. Louis BattleHawks and he was trending on Twitter after booming several powerful kicks in his first XFL game. Casey Kreiter, who snapped for King in Denver during the 2018 season, reacted to the big punts on Twitter.
King’s punts were so good that the league’s official account hyped them up on Twitter. It’s not often that a punter makes highlight reels.
In the third quarter, King had an absolutely perfect punt that would have stopped at the one-yard line if not for a teammate jumping on it.
King punted for the Broncos in four games two years ago before suffering a thigh injury that ended his season and his time in Denver.
