With Adam Vinatieri and Stephen Gostkowski holding own the fort for two decades, the New England Patriots once were a bastion of stability at placekicker. Those days are long gone, however, and the team has not found consistency at the position since.
As a result, the Patriots are the only team in the NFL to draft three kickers since Gostkowski’s departure in 2020. The latest of them comes via the University of Miami, and the sixth round of this year’s draft.
