Patriots draft Justin Rohrwasser as kicker replacement for Stephen Gostkowski

Justin Rohrwasser

The New England Patriots have drafted a kicker whom they hope will replace Stephen Gostkowski.

In the fifth round of the NFL Draft, the Patriots took Marshall kicker Justin Rohrwasser with the No. 159 selection.

Rohrwasser went 18/21 (85.7 percent) on field goals as a senior at Marshall last season and was 33/42 (78.6 percent) during his career for the Thundering Herd. He was 79/82 (96.3 percent) on extra points.

Before Marshall, Rohrwasser spent two years at Rhode Island. He went 15/20 (75 percent) on field goals and 39/41 on extra points.

The Patriots had four kickers attempt field goals last season. Gostkowski got hurt, and then they used Nick Folk, Mike Nugent, and Kai Forbath at various points. They’re hoping Rohrwasser will be able to stick at the position.
