Professional career

Baltimore Ravens Cox was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent following the 2010 NFL draft on May 6, 2010. He earned the starting long snapper job after the Ravens released Matt Katula on August 14, 2010. In the season opener of the 2013 season against the Denver Broncos, Cox recovered a punt that was muffed by Wes Welker. On October 19, 2014, Cox tore his ACL against the Atlanta Falcons and was placed on season ending injured reserve the day after. He was replaced by Kevin McDermott for the remainder of the season. Cox recovered from the injury, and resumed his long snapping duties for the 2015 season. Cox, along with punter Sam Koch and kicker Justin Tucker, were known as the "Wolfpack" and considered the best special teams unit as a trio.
