5. Sam Koch

Let’s be honest, no one gives punters credit. Ever.Sam Koch has been the Ravens’ punter since 2006. Despite being a pro bowler just once in his 11-year career, he has been one of the top punters in the NFL.

Last season Koch ranked 15th in the league in terms of average yards-per-punt, and he only had five touch-backs, but he is still one of the best in the business.

Let’s also not forget that Koch is a part of one of the best special teams units in the league. “The Wolfpack” – Koch, kicker Justin Tucker, and long snapper Morgan Cox are the dream team of special teams, which is part of the reason of why Tucker is the most accurate kicker in NFL history.

The Ravens have not had to worry about finding a punter for years, and Koch is the reason why.
