The Baltimore Ravens saw one of the great players in their franchise history hang up his cleats on Thursday in punter Sam Koch. He spent 16 years in the NFL, with every single one being in Baltimore. He established himself as a leader both on and off of the field, and despite retiring he will remain with the organization in a coaching role.
Koch’s official title for his new position will be “special teams consultant”, where he’ll be able to work with players such as rookie punter Jordan Stout to help shape them into the best they can be. When discussing his transition into a coaching role, Koch talked about his desire to be a leader.
