The longest-tenured player in Cincinnati Bengals history has announced his retirement from the game.

Friday, former Bengals punter Kevin Huber posted the following message on Twitter:

“April 26, 2009, I received a call that would forever change my life. From just a Cincinnati kid watching my Bengals at Riverfront Stadium to being drafted as their punter is something dreams are made of. The past 14 years have been beyond my imagination and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Bengals organization. To my teammates, coaches, front office and staff, I can’t thank you enough for your support and dedication throughout my career. It has been a privilage to learn from and work with every one of you. And to all Bengals fans; your grit and unwavering enthusiasm for our team and city is second to none. I may be signing off as #10, but you better believe I’ll be in the jungle chanting “Who Dey” alongside you all.”

The tweet:

Huber was a staple of the Bengals for more than a decade after attending Archbishop McNicholas and the University of Cincinnati locally.

One of the most important Bengals of the last decade, Huber holds the following franchise records:

  • Games played (216)
  • Punts (1011)
  • Punting yards (45,766)
  • Gross average (45.27)
  • Net average (40.34)
  • Inside-20 punts (346)
