The New England Patriots have taken their second special teams player in the 2025 NFL Draft.
After drafting Miami kicker Andres Borregales at No. 182 in the sixth round, the Patriots selected Vanderbilt long snapper Julian Ashby at No. 251 in the seventh round.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported that "there was going to be a bidding war for his services as an undrafted free agent. New England picks him instead."
Ashby is the first long snapper drafted since 2021.
