A highly versatile player, Manton was ULM’s punter, placekicker, and kickoff specialist for four years.  In 2014, Manton connected on 20 of 24 field goal attempts (83.3%) and averaged 42.4 yards per punt.  He’s probably going to make a roster somewhere, but it won’t be in Baltimore behind annual stud Justin Tucker.
