PITTSBURGH — Former Kansas City Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt has found a new home.
Colquitt, a graduate of Bearden High School and former All-American at the University of Tennessee, signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday.
He was cut by the Chiefs in April as the team was looking to clear salary cap space.
Colquitt was the longest tenured active player in Kansas City at the time of his release. He and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in February when they notched a 31-20 comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
While he has spent his entire professional career in Kansas City, the Colquitt name is well-known in Western Pennsylvania.
Colquitt’s father, Craig, was a punter in Pittsburgh when the Steelers were on their dynasty run in the 1970s.
He won two Super Bowls with the team.
Craig’s other son, Britton, now with the Minnesota Vikings, punted for the Volunteers and won a Super Bowl alongside Peyton Manning with the Denver Broncos.
