Three names to know
K Rodrigo Blankenship, Georgia: Expected to be the first kicker drafted, Blankenship converted 80 of 97 field goals [82.5%] for the Bulldogs. His 55-yard field goal against Oklahoma in 2018 is the longest in the history of the Rose Bowl. He’s more consistent at less than 40 yards, making 92.7% of his field goal attempts at Georgia. He’s proven serviceable from long range, making 6 of 9 from beyond 50 yards. He’s also an amateur hip-hop artist, releasing a song two years ago about the Bulldogs program.
P Braden Mann, Texas A&M: — Waited until his junior season to play while behind Shane Tripucka, whom the Vikings worked out last summer while searching for a punter.
