Braden Mann’s football journey started in Cypress, Texas, where he starred at Cy-Fair High School before heading to Texas A&M. Now, five years into his NFL career, the Eagles’ punter can officially add Super Bowl champion to his resume. Mann played a crucial role in Philadelphia’s 40-22 victory over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, consistently flipping the field and keeping the Chiefs’ offense pinned deep.
Mann’s 2024-25 season was one of his best, as he averaged 46.2 yards per punt and placed 25 punts inside the 20-yard line. His ability to control field position proved invaluable throughout the Eagles’ playoff run, giving the defense an edge. Against Kansas City, he delivered when it mattered most, forcing the Chiefs into long drives that Philadelphia’s dominant defense was ready to stop.
Mann’s rise to NFL success began at Texas A&M, where he set multiple punting records and won the Ray Guy Awardas the nation’s top punter in 2018. Drafted in 2020, he has since established himself as one of the league’s most reliable specialists. Now, with a Super Bowl ring, Mann has solidified his place in Texas high school football history, proving that great special teams play is key to championship success.
