Baltimore Ravens punter Sam Koch announces his retirement

Baltimore Ravens punter Sam Koch announced his retirement on Thursday, bringing to an end the career of the longest-tenured player in organization history. Jamison Hensley, who covers the team for ESPN, announced the news on social media Thursday afternoon.

The Ravens called a press conference for Thursday to address the media.

Koch was a walk-on at Nebraska who later earned a scholarship for the Cornhuskers. He was drafted by the Ravens in the sixth round of the 2006 NFL draft, and spent his entire career with Baltimore. He was part of the team that won Super Bowl SLVII, and was named a Second-Team All-Pro in 2015.

Koch played in 256 games for the Ravens, more than long-time Baltimore defenders Terrell Suggs (229) and Ray Lewis (228).
