BOSTON — New Patriots kicker Justin Rohrwasser says a tattoo on his arm is not representative of a loosely organized right-wing militia group that has adopted the symbol.
Rohrwasser, who played at Rhode Island and Marshall, was taken 159th overall in the fifth round of the draft Saturday.
He said in a conference call with reporters that he got the tattoo as a teenager because he has a lot of family members in the military. He added he "thought it was a military support symbol at the time."
"It evolved into something I do not want to represent," Rohrwasser said.
