After 16 years as a Baltimore Raven, punter Sam Koch has said goodbye as an NFL player. A 2006 sixth-round pick for the Ravens out of Nebraska, Koch played a franchise-record 256 games and held a 239 consecutive game streak — before missing one due to COVID in 2020.
Koch will surely go down as a punting legend in Baltimore. His resume includes a Pro Bowl, a second-team All-Pro and a career average of 45.3 yards per punt. He will also be remembered fondly for what proved to be a critical play in Super Bowl XLVII, where Koch took a punt snap in the back of the end zone.
