The San Diego State product was the third player taken at his position, but he was the one who received the most attention. The Baltimore Ravens selected Penn State's Jordan Stout with the 25th pick of the fourth round.

Araiza was a consensus All-American and winner of the Ray Guy Award as the nation's top punter.

He averaged a record 51.2 yards per punt and was also San Diego State's kicker. Throw in four tackles as someone who wasn't afraid to mix it up after kicking it, and there was little the Aztecs didn't do when the special teams were on the field.

If the plan goes according to plan, Araiza will not be used much.

His presence on the field will mean that the high-powered offense with Josh Allen at the controls did not score. The Bills improved their scoring unit by selecting running back James Cook and wide receiver Khalil Shakir in the draft.

They can take solace in the fact that Araiza should be able to boom a punt when the offense doesn't score.
