P: Tom Rouen

Though Tom Rouen had six different stops after leaving the Broncos, he spent nearly a decade punting in Denver. During that time, he was named an All-Pro in 1994 and was part of the back-to-back Super Bowl-winning teams. He played in 152 games for the team without ever missing one after winning the job as an undrafted rookie in 1993.

Rouen holds a career average with the team of 43.9 yards per punt and a net average of 36.2 yards. Both of those numbers are less than the averages posted during Britton Colquitt’s time with the team, but Rouen played in 56 more games.

You could make the case for Colquitt to be on this team, but Rouen gets the nod here based on longevity.
