Raiders’ Marquette King has great leg, decent legs
Raiders fans might have been excited when punter Marquette King picked up the ball and started running late in Sunday’s game at Jacksonville.
“After I passed the orange sticks, I got a little lightheaded and realized I’m really running the ball right now,” King said.
Oakland was up by only 10 points with 3:42 to play when the snap from Jon Condo came bouncing back to King on 4th-and-24 at its 38-yard line.
King scooped up the ball and raced down the right sideline for 27 yards, setting up a 9-yard touchdown run by Latavius Murray.
Head coach Jack Del Rio is so high on King’s punting that he let him do some ridiculous dances after some big kicks in the Baltimore win.
The least the Raiders can do is finally call a fake-punt play for the former college receiver.
Carr was walking through the Ritz Carlton lobby Monday when he noticed King playing John Legend songs on the piano.
Yes, the same man who wore a Power Rangers mask to the first day of training camp, to both be noticed and be unable to talk to reporters that day.
“I just took off running and thought maybe if I run fast enough, my ratings will go up higher on Madden,” King said.
