Dustin Colquitt gets cut by Pittsburgh Steelers.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have parted ways with punter Dustin Colquitt.

Colquitt, a former All-America standout at the University of Tennessee, was released by the Steelers on Saturday before Pittsburgh outlasted the Tennessee Titans, 27-24, in Nashville the following day.

Prior to signing with the Steelers, Colquitt punted for the Kansas City Chiefs between 2005-19. He won a Super Bowl with Kansas City following last season.

At the time of his departure from the Chiefs, he was their longest tenured player.

At Tennessee, Colquitt was a two-time All-Southeastern Conference player in 2003 and 2004.

His father, Craig, also played at UT and with the Steelers. He was on multiple Super Bowl championship teams in Pittsburgh.

His brother, Britton, is playing for the Minnesota Vikings. He also punted at UT and won the Super Bowl with Denver alongside fellow VFL Peyton Manning.

Craig’s nephew, Jimmy, was also a star punter on Rocky Top.
