What followed was a quick exchange between head coach and mortified punter.

"He said, 'The first thing you've got to do is take care of the ball,'" Mann said. "I said, 'Yes sir. I got it.

"Then I kind of had to let that go a little bit."

Patricia didn't let it go completely.

"He put a little pressure on me at first, to see how I would respond," Mann said. "He stood a little bit closer to me on the next time. He was in my ear the whole time, which I kind of liked. It put a little pressure and got me to focus a little bit more – like a game situation

"The very next one I was like – 'Better catch this one.' So I caught it, made sure to, and I was rolling for the rest of the practice."

Mann was a record-setting punter his last two seasons at Texas A&M. He averaged 51.0 yards on 50 punts, with a long punt of 82 yards in 2018. In 2019 he averaged 47.1 yards on 57 punts, with a long punt of 68 yards.
