Patriots rookie Andres Borregales putting best foot forward early in kicking competition with veteran John Parker Romo

FOXBOROUGH — This season, the Patriots are looking at the possibility of using their fourth kicker in four years, as rookie Andres Borregales and veteran John Parker Romo have spent the spring jousting for the job.

In the practices that have been open to the media, Borregales — a sixth-round pick out of the University of Miami — has outperformed Romo. During Monday’s workout, each got four attempts from 33 to 49 yards. Borregales connected on all four, while Romo, who ended last season on the practice squad, was 2 for 4, going wide right from 39 and 49.
