Staying with the New England Patriots on a new two-year contract, Nick Folk will be able to continue a pro football career that has been a rollercoaster at times.
Entering the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2007, he found immediate success and was voted to the Pro Bowl as a rookie. Folk went on to appear in 47 games for the Cowboys, but was let go in 2009 after what was a disappointing third season.
He subsequently joined the New York Jets and returned to form: Folk appeared in 107 contests as a Jet, proving himself as one of the more reliable kickers in the league.
