In addition, he will be joining the Ravens' staff as a "special teams consultant." The No. 203 overall pick of the 2006 draft, Koch was a steady kicking presence for the better part of two decades, earning 2015 Pro Bowl honors. He also long served as K Justin Tucker's holder. Koch remained effective at age 39 in 2021, checking in 17th in net-punting average at 40.0. It was simply time for the specialist to move on. 

Johnny Townsend is expected to punt for Baltimore in their must-win season finale. Koch was seventh among punters in net average this season. Townsend will be the first punter besides Koch to punt for the Ravens since 2006. 

Koch entered the league as a 24-year-old back in 2006 and has never left Baltimore. He's been as reliable as they come and will now punt for the Ravens through his age-39 season. Koch has averaged at least 44.8 yards per punt for nine-straight seasons.

Koch is the second-longest tenured Raven behind Terrell Suggs and he will most likely be play out his entire career in Baltimore. Koch has punted in every game for the Ravens since they took him in the sixth round of the 2006 draft.
