Baltimore Ravens punter Sam Koch is finally going to the Pro Bowl in his 10th season. 

Koch, who is leading the league in net punting average for the second straight year, expressed his excitement to the team's official website upon hearing he news Tuesday night. If Koch was giving an acceptance speech at the Oscars, he'd probably be played off the stage. 

Right guard Marshal Yanda is already used to making the trip to Hawaii. He'll make his fifth straight appearance, joining Ray Lewis, Jonathan Ogden, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs as the only Ravens with five career Pro Bowl selections. Yanda was effusive in his praise for his teammates amid a very trying season for the 4-10 Ravens. 

Linebacker C.J. Mosley and fullback Kyle Juszczyk were designated as first alternates. Many Ravens fans were expecting nose tackle Brandon Williams to make the team, but he was snubbed altogether. 

The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Jan. 31 in Honolulu, Hawaii, a week before the Super Bowl.
