The New England Patriots selected kicker Andres Borregales in the fifth round of the 2025 draft, marking their third kicker drafted since 2020. While Borregales is regarded as the best kicking prospect, the team has faced significant struggles with their previous kicker selections, including Justin Rohrwasser and Chad Ryland. No kicker drafted by the Patriots since 2019 has achieved stability, with their greatest success being undrafted Adam Vinatieri. The ongoing draft efforts underscore the urgent need to resolve stability issues at the kicking position.
The Patriots have struggled significantly in drafting kickers, every selection since Stephen Gostowski's departure highlighting the need for consistent performance in that position.
Drafting three kickers in five years, including Borregales, shows New England's ongoing efforts to solve their kicking problems amid a history of inconsistency.
