          The Baltimore Ravens have two players among the top vote-getters in the Pro Bowl balloting -- one of their newest and oldest players on the team.

          Sam Koch leads all punters with 66,753 votes, and rookie C.J. Mosley is second among inside linebackers with 126,670 votes.

          Koch, the second-longest tenured Raven behind Terrell Suggs, is looking to make the Pro Bowl for the first time in his nine-year career. He ranks third in the NFL in net average (43.1), and he's placed 72.7 percent of his punts inside the 20-yard line -- which easily leads the NFL. Koch was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2010.

          "In my opinion, Sam has been a top punter in this league for a long time," special teams coach Jerry Rosberg said. "He has skills that belie his numbers sometimes, and we recognize that in our building. We love him. He’s our guy."

          Mosley, the team's first-round pick, trails only Carolina's Luke Kuechly in the voting. He's the sixth-leading tackler in the NFL with 96, and he's the only defender with at least 80 tackles, an interception, a sack, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble.

          Fans can vote on the NFL's website until Dec. 15. The Pro Bowl players will be announced Dec. 23.
