Following the release of the team’s all-time leading scorer, Stephen Gostkowski, in March, the New Engalnd Patriots decided to invest a fifth-round draft pick in Marshall kicker Justin Rohrwasser. Midway during training camp, veteran Nick Folk was also added to the equation to compete against the youngster. Now, the competition is over: Folk is the winner, Rohrwasser has been let go by the Patriots.

Rohrwasser may have a stronger leg than fellow place kicker Nick Folk, and eventually a higher ceiling as well. His inconsistency throughout training camp was worrisome, however, and eventually ended up costing the rookie a spot on the Patriots’ 53-man roster.
