    A long-time Cincinnati Bengals starter has officially announced their intention to retire this offseason. Kevin Huber took to his Twitter account to break the news that they would not be looking for a new team to punt for in the upcoming season.

    NFL News: Cincinnati Bengals long-time starter Kevin Huber retires

    Per Huber’s Twitter:

    “April 26, 2009, I received a call that would forever change my life. From just a Cincinnati kid watching my Bengals at Riverfront Stadium to being drafted as their punter is something dreams are made of . The past 14 years have been beyond my imagination and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Bengals organization.

    To my teammates, coaches, front office and staff, I can’t thank you enough for your support and dedication throughout my career. It has been a privilege to learn from and work with every one of you. And to all Bengals fans, your grit and unwavering enthusiasm for our team and city is second to none. I may be signing off as #10, but you better believe I’ll be in the jungle chanting ‘Who Dey’ alongside you all.”

    Huber has had an incredible football career in Cincinnati

    The Bengals drafted Huber in the fifth round of the 2009 draft. He had an incredibly successful college career at Cincinnati, making first-team All-American in 2007 and 2008. Huber would make the Pro Bowl for the 2014 season when he punted 27 kicks inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

    The Cincinnati native had a surreal football career getting to play in his hometown in college and professionally. He performed well for the Bengals, averaging 40.2 net yards per punt for his career. Over a third (34.2 percent) of his 1011 NFL punts would land inside the 20-yard line.

    Huber owns the Bengals franchise record for gross punting average yards (44.2) and net average yards (39.1).

    That really is a dream scenario for any local sports kid growing up.

    Here’s a video from the Bengals thanking Huber for his time with the team:
