Baltimore Ravens punter Sam Koch announced his retirement after a remarkable 16-year career on Thursday. He put together a Ring of Honor-worthy resumé, with 1,168 punts, 52,868 total punting yardage as well as an 87.5% completion percentage while throwing the football.
Koch will go down as one of the great players in Baltimore franchise history. However, despite his playing days being over he will still remain with the organization, as the team announced that he will be moving into a new role as a special teams consultant where he’ll be able to help continue to shape the Ravens’ special teams unit.

Koch will have the opportunity to work with new Baltimore punter Jordan Stout, who the team took in the fourth round of the 2022 draft. The rookie will have big shoes to fill, but with Koch’s guidance could turn into the next player at his position.
