The NY Jets saw an opportunity to upgrade at the punter position in the 2020 NFL Draft and they took it selecting standout Texas A&M punter Braden Mann with their sixth-round pick.
While the attention has understandably been on the likes of first-round pick Mekhi Becton and second-round pick Denzel Mims, the significance of Mann shouldn’t be understated.
Mann was one of the most prolific punters not only during his time in the FBS, but perhaps in college football history. The Texas native was named the 2018 Ray Guy Award winner and went on to earn unanimous All-American honors.
