The Jets came into the draft with a need at punter and Joe Douglas didn’t want to wait until the undrafted free agent period.

With the Jets’ first sixth-round pick, they selected Braden Mann out of Texas A&M. Down in College Station, Mann broke several NCAA records. He’s been consistently dominant and draft pundits like Mel Kiper Jr. view him as a Pro-Bowl caliber punter. The Jets certainly need a punter after electing not to re-sign Lachlan Edwards, who led the NFL with 87 total punts last season.

Here are four things to know about the Jets’ new punter.

Ray Guy Winner

Braden Mann’s first full year punting for the Texas A&M Aggies resulted in him earning unanimous All-American honors and the Ray Guy Award winner as the nation’s top punter.

Mann also set the NCAA record with 51.0 yards per punt, placing 19 of 50 punts inside the 20-yard line and forcing 11 fair catches during his 2018 campaign.
