Watch this NFL punter danced like no punter has before
One of the most epic NFL celebrations of 2016 just came from a very unlikely player.
Though this season has provided some memorable celebrations — twerking, pelvic thrusts and bow-and-arrows, to name a few — most have taken place in the endzone, and have come from players that usually take center stage.
Not on Sunday.

Oakland Raiders punter Marquette King put together a stellar celebration after his solid third quarter punt against Denver on Sunday.
That's right. A punter.
The NFL has earned a reputation as the "No Fun League" this year for cracking down on celebrations, among other things. It's handed out flags and fines to Washington defensive back Josh Norman and Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown for their "violent" and "sexually suggestive" celebrations.
The league issued more specific regulations for celebrations after Brown's second fine last month. Those rules prohibit both "prolonged" and "excessive" celebrations, which are definitely two ways you could describe King's moves on Sunday.
King wasn't flagged or fined, though. And let's face it. Referees are usually looking for big celebrations in the endzone after a touchdown, not from a punter at the 50-yard line.
