Patriots Host Kicker Tryout Ahead of Training Camp

The New England Patriots launch their 2025 training camp this Wednesday, with a fierce kicking competition stealing the spotlight. Rookie Andres Borregales and veteran John Parker Romo are set to duel, but four new kickers aim to shake things up and go between the uprights for head coach Mike Vrabel.

Last year, Joey Slye held down the kicker position for New England, but departed in free agency and signed with the Tennessee Titans, leaving the Patriots empty-handed.

On Saturday, the Patriots hosted tryouts for kickers Kenneth Almendares, Alex Felkins, Alex Raynor, and Tristian Vandenberg, per the NFL’s official transaction wire.
