FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Kicker Roberto Aguayo, who has been out of the NFL for almost three full seasons after initially entering the league as a second-round draft choice of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2016, is attempting to revive his career on the New England Patriots' practice squad.
The club is planning to sign Aguayo on Saturday, a source told ESPN's Field Yates. It is a belated Christmas gift for the 26-year-old Aguayo, whose career took a dramatic turn after the Buccaneers selected him with the 59th overall pick in 2016.
Aguayo was highly touted coming out of Florida State, having made all 198 of his point-after attempts and 69-of-78 field-goal attempts.
