The Baltimore Ravens drafted punter Sam Koch in the sixth round of the 2006 NFL Draft, predating the hiring of John Harbaugh as head coach by two years. Even though he incredibly only made the Pro Bowl once during his 16 years, he was pretty consistently one of the top five punters in the league in any given year.
Now 39 years old, the Ravens understood that they would have to begin looking to the future, and they decided to do that last month, using a fourth-round draft pick on punter Jordan Stout out of Penn State. The 6’3”, 209-pounder, though, won’t have to win the job in a training camp competition.
