Dustin Colquitt, Kansas City Chiefs
Dustin Colquitt, Kansas City Chiefs player, says, “When my team does not get a first down, I punt the ball to the other team. I have been the Kansas City Chiefs’ punter for eight years. More importantly, I am a FUN father to my four (soon to be five!) kids.” Dustin also works with KidsTLC in Olathe. They provide much-needed services to abused and neglected kids, and he is the spokesperson for TeamSmile, which provides dental care to underprivileged kids.
