“It’s not something you think about all the time,” said Colquitt of his veteran status. “I guess I don’t feel that old.”
Colquitt might not be ‘that old’, but with 80 regular-season and seven postseason game appearances under his belt after seven years with the Broncos, the punter has more than enough experience to help lead the group of young specialists.
“I try to lead by example,” said Colquitt. “I’ve got to really work hard, show what it means to be a pro. I’m still learning that. I still look for more ways that I can do things to make me a better player and just try to lead by example.”
With the addition of first-year Special Teams Coordinator Joe DeCamillis, Colquitt’s experience is invaluable to the specialists. His professionalism and attitude hasn’t gone unnoticed by DeCamillis.
“The biggest thing is… you want to see to a pro... and I think he is,” said DeCamillis of his first impressions of Colquitt. “He’s done a great job so far. It’s a different system for him, it’s a little bit different – what we’re asking him to do - and he’s bought in completely so far. So we’ve got to keep him on that path and so far he’s been hitting the ball excellent.”
