Professional career

New York Giants

The New York Giants selected Maynard in the third round of the 1997 NFL Draft,[5] which made him one of the highest drafted punters in the modern era of football.[6] He was a member of the 2000 New York Giants, who played the Baltimore Ravens at Super Bowl XXXV. Maynard set an NFL record for most punts in a single Super Bowl as the Giants lost 34–7.[7]

Chicago Bears

After the 2000 season ended, Maynard became a free agent and signed with the Chicago Bears.

Maynard is known for his occasional trick plays. On rare occasions, he may pass in order to convert a first down. His most notable trick play came in 2001, when he threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Brian Urlacher on a fake field goal en route to a 20–15 victory over the Washington Redskins, which secured the Bears the NFC's second playoff seed. He also threw passes on fake punts during two Bears' season finales in 2005 and 2006. His career passing stats are 4-7 with two touchdowns.[8]

In January 2007, he was voted the sexiest member of the Chicago Bears.[9] Along with Patrick Mannelly, kicker Robbie Gould claims Maynard to be one of the Bears' unsung heroes.[10] On July 25, 2011, the Bears released Maynard. Maynard was replaced with former Jacksonville Jaguars punter Adam Podlesh.[11]

Houston Texans
