Brenden Schooler justified his spot on the New England Patriots' roster and then some Sunday night.
The second-year safety plays exclusively on special teams for the Patriots, but he's very good at his job -- as he demonstrated with a highlight-reel field goal block against the Miami Dolphins on NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
As Miami's Jason Sanders attempted a 49-yard field goal late in the third quarter, Schooler sprinted along the line of scrimmage and timed his rush perfectly to scream around the edge and block the kick.
It was a unique play design and perfect execution by Schooler, who admitted the team practiced the block attempt in practice earlier in the week.
