No. 5: P Braden Mann

Braden Mann just made history as the first specialist to appear in Jets Wire’s rookie power rankings.

The Texas A&M product will walk into the starting punter job once training camp begins. It’s rare for most rookies selected outside of the first three rounds to have a starting job locked down on the first day of camp, but that is the position Mann finds himself in as the only punter on New York’s roster right now.

Mann is not inheriting the No. 1 spot on the depth chart solely because of that, though. The Jets drafted him for a reason. He was arguably the best punter in college football the last two seasons and performed at an elite level throughout his collegiate career. Expect that production to carry over to the NFL.
