Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Bills addressed another need during Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft with the selection of San Diego State punter Matt Araiza with the 180th overall pick.
Araiza won the Ray Guy award in 2021 for the nation's best punter, and was a unanimous First-Team All-American. It was only the second time in the school’s history that a player as been named an All-American, with the other being Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk.
Arazia served as the school's kicker, kickoff specialist and punter.
The 21-year-old, standing at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, was also able to have two 80-plus-yard punts this past season. His ability to boom the ball off his left foot has earned him the nickname, the "Punt God".
The Bills' next pick will come with the 185th overall selection.
