In the video, the Oakland Raiders punter dropkicks a football from the 50-yard line. He then sprints after it, before catching it in the end zone and dunking it through a basketball hoop.

King, 28, averaged 48.6 yards per punt this season. He led the league in punts and yards in 2014 and led the league in yards per punt in 2013. He was voted as a second-team All-Pro selection this season.
