Sam Koch
positives
Outstanding directional punter who has a very powerful leg...Has the athletic skills and sure hands to adjust quickly to the off-target snaps... Shows a keen knack for having his attempts downed inside the 20-yard line (only 10 touchbacks in the last 134 attempts)...Conventional right-footed kicker who has the quickness to run with the ball on fake punt attempts...His leg explodes into the ball, driving it deep consistently...Gets good rise, distance, hang time and trajectory behind his kicks...Handles the ball flawlessly, even in poor weather conditions...Very focused player who is very cool under pressure...Has the quickness to be a dangerous threat running on fake punt attempts...His speed allows him to quickly get up field to lend support to the coverage unit.
negatives
Appears methodical in his approach (2 ½-step)...While he gets good height on his kicks, he will occasionally hit some line drives...Needs to develop better consistency with his hang time...Needs to speed up his release to prevent his kicks from being blocked.
