If there was one team that was definitely going to draft a kicker this year, it was the New England Patriots. Going into the draft, the Patriots had exactly ZERO placekickers on their roster, but they now have one after selecting Andres Borregales in the sixth round (182nd overall).

The New England Patriots used pick No. 182 in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft to take Miami kicker Andres Borregales. Adding a kicker was a priority for the Patriots with John Parker Romo as the only option on the roster.

The first kicker of the 2025 draft is off the board. The Patriots selected Andres Borregales out of Miami with the No. 182 overall pick in the sixth round. Borregales, a native of Venezuela, was a two-time first-team All-ACC selection in 2023 and 2024.
