Broncos' King pretends to not know Jon Gruden ahead of Raiders reunion
Denver Broncos punter Marquette King was asked on Wednesday if he's looking forward to facing the Oakland Raiders, his former team, and head coach Jon Gruden on Sunday.
"Who’s that?" the enigmatic special teamer said to Mike Klis of 9News. "I don’t know who you’re talking about."
King was released shortly after the Raiders hired Gruden, even though he ranked as a top-five punter in 2017 while averaging 42.7 net yards per punt, according to Pro Football Focus. The Broncos quickly picked him up, signing the 29-year-old to a three-year deal.

When asked if he was looking forward to facing his old team, King suggested it would be the same as any other matchup.
"I’m looking forward to every game," said King.
