An Ode to Sam Koch

“Way to do your job.”

The Ravens’ special teams mantra referenced so many times by Sam Koch is a little ironic to me, considering how much Koch has done for the team that’s outside the traditional job description for a punter.

Sure, he’s been one of the most consistent and reliable punters in the NFL over his 16-year career, but he also spent most of that time as the Ravens’ holder and emergency quarterback, excelling in both of those roles.

Okay, so he never had to step in at quarterback, but he did a great job executing fake punts, completing seven of eight passes over his career for five first downs.
