And from Adam Schefter of ESPN: "When Jacksonville used the 70th pick on Cal punter Bryan Anger, he became the 1st punter to go in top 100 picks since Todd Sauerbrun went 56th overall in 1995."
"There's not a lot of guys that come along like that every year. He can be a difference-maker," Mularkey says of Anger.
