Colquitt was seventh in the NFL last season with an average yards per punt of 47.4 and he was second in the league with 33 punts downed inside the 20-yard-line. After going undrafted and bouncing around the practice squads of both the Broncos and the Miami Dolphins, Denver signed Colquitt in 2010 and he has punted in every game for the team since then.
