He would go on to play his college career out at Nevada before Washington selected him in the 1983 NFL Draft in the third round (84th overall).
Mann was selected to four Pro Bowls during his time in Washington and won two Super Bowls with them.
In 1994 he signed with the 49ers in what would be his final season and won his third Super Bowl as a proper send-off. And while only one of his 83 career sacks came with San Francisco, his veteran presence on a stout 49ers championship-caliber defense was surely important.
