KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 The New York Jets announced the signing of their first-round draft pick, former University of Missouri offensive tackle, Armand Membou, on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The 2022 Lee’s Summit North graduate was drafted seventh overall, the Tigers’ first top-10 draft pick since defensive end Aldon Smith in the 2011 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
Membou was the Jets’ first of seven picks and the first draft selection under general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn.<\/p>\n
The 6’4″, 332-pound Membou spent three seasons at Mizzou, playing right tackle exclusively. <\/p>\n
He started 25 consecutive games as a sophomore and junior before skipping the Music City Bowl after declaring for the draft.<\/p>\n
At the NFL Combine, Membou became one of four offensive linemen ever to surpass a 30-inch vertical jump (34) and post a sub-5.0 time in the 40-yard dash (4.91) at over 315 pounds. <\/p>\n
His 4.91 40-yard dash time was the fastest by any offensive lineman measuring at least 6’4″ and 330 pounds since 2003.<\/p>\n
