Who is Marquette King you ask? If you've seen the Raiders play this year, you know that he is the second coming of Reggie Roby. Like Anson Carter playing Hockey and Darius Rucker singing country music (why Darius, why!), Marquette King is the only African-American punter in the NFL. He boasts a 4.58 forty which is faster than star wide receivers Kendall Wright and Steve Johnson and has the distinction of looking like the most athletic punter in the history of the NFL. The first time you see him line up to punt it will feel like that time when you realized you could delete your browsing history or when your girlfriend realized that New Kids on the Block were going back on tour. It's like finding out you were adopted and everything you were told about the world was wrong. 
So far in 2013, the Raiders have gone 62/183 on third down which is only good enough for 28th in league. They have punted 73 times for a league leading average of 48.8 yards per punt. If you had a punter who ran a 4.58 forty, why would you not run a fake at least 25% of the time? His ability as a punter would only accentuate his abilities as a runner. The Raiders are among the league leaders in three and outs and their average time of possession is 2:30, which is near the bottom of the league just like their record. If they used at least one fake a week it could lengthen their drives and actually keep their fans engaged for more than the first month and a half of the season. With social media the way it is and a little more deserved notoriety, Marquette King has a bright future and should lead the league in jersey sales and become the most popular punter in the history of the NFL.
