Cox has been with the Ravens since 2015. Last season he was a long snapper in the Pro Bowl. Cox came to Baltimore as an undrafted free agent. He just signed a five-year extension with the Ravens.
Sam Koch is one of the most consistent punters in the game; which is why he’s also one of the most well paid punters in the game. Koch holds team records for the longest punt, most punts, and the best average yards per punt. This is a player who has been with the Ravens for 10 seasons.
Koch was a Pro Bowl punter last season. He had 74 punts for 3,454 yards, and averaged 46.7 yards per kick. Koch pinned 29 punts inside the 20 yard line last season. Koch has had 280 punts inside the 20 in his career.
Koch changes field position for the Ravens. Punting is something you never want to do. Sometimes it is your only choice though. Without a good punter the field position battle will sink you. Koch is delivers for the Ravens.
Finally, we have Tucker. Tucker is one of the best kickers in the NFL. He makes more guaranteed money than any other kicker. Tucker is the second most accurate kicker in NFL history.
He is known for game winning kicks. He won the 2012 divisional playoff game against the Denver Broncos. The ball was practically frozen and he nailed the double overtime field goal. In 2013, he made a 61 yard kick to beat the Detroit Lions.
