Texas A&M’s Braden Mann: Big-leg punter with NFL-caliber hang time and field-position value
Braden Mann stands out as a field-position weapon: at Texas A&M he showed elite punt distance, including a 48.8-yard average vs. Arkansas and a 59.6-yard average with an 82-yard blast vs. Kentucky, and that big-leg profile has translated to the NFL, where he’s still a productive punter with a 49.9-yard average this season. His value goes beyond raw numbers—he can flip the field, create hidden yards, and punish return teams, making him a strong fit if you want a punter who changes games, not just possessions.
