Quinn Nordin was one of the New England Patriots’ top performers in the 22-13 season-opening win against the Washington Football Team.
The undrafted rookie kicker hit 3 of 3 field goals, with one from 50 yards out. He gained the opportunity after Nick Folk missed five straight days in practice with injury — leading to Nordin making noise with 14 consecutive field goals. If it wasn’t for the opportunity stemming from Folk’s absence, Nordin would still likely be on the search for jobs on LinkedIn.
Nordin struggled his senior year at Michigan after hitting only 2 of 5 field goals.
