The Raiders punter has taken a page out of Russell Wilson‘s playbook and is in camp with the Athletics. After throwing out the first pitch on Sunday, he decided he wanted some swings as well.
Yesterday King traded his signature Black and Silver for some A’s Gear. He did keep the Raiders helmet on though.
He was ready to show Russell Wilson a “thing or two,” when he stepped in:

Of course Marquette wanted to show off his punting skills, and was doing a little kicking on the baseball diamond.
Ended the day on a high note. #HellaSpring@NFL @RAIDERS @thecheckdown pic.twitter.com/B5FAZZPPqr

Is there an easier job in all of sports than that of a punter? I mean they get paid a ton of money to kick balls into the air. They rarely get hit, and somehow King has turned himself into a star. That’s impressive.
