Foxborough, Mass. – There was a moment this summer when Patriots rookie Quinn Nordin was about ready to give up on football.
It was early May and with no free-agent offers in the days following the draft, the former Michigan kicker was thinking about other plans for his future.
“I waited four days,” Nordin said Monday. “I was on LinkedIn looking at jobs. I was thinking about maybe going into the military. The Patriots were my only call, so I’m here.”
The call was actually a text message from special teams coach Cam Achord.
