With easily the most powerful leg in college football, the Jets clearly felt Mann was worth of spending a sixth-round draft pick on as they bid farewell to former punter Lac Edwards who was not retained by the team.

Mann will give the Jets a punter who should be able to consistently flip the field and make life easier on Gang Green’s defense. Mann averaged 48.9 yards per punt during his time at Texas A&M.
