The New England Patriots created a little bit of internal competition when they selected Miami kicker Andres Borregales with the 182nd pick.
Although Borregales is a Florida native, the 5-foot-11, 202-pound placekicker is looking forward to emulating Patriots legend Adam Vinatieri.
“I mean, I’m excited,” Borregales told reporters during a virtual press conference on Saturday. “All my life, I looked up to Adam Vinatieri, a legend, honestly. Especially all those kicks in the snow and clutch kicks in the snow, actually. I can’t wait to experience that. I know a lot of people thought that, obviously, being from Miami, I can’t handle the cold.
