Kickers don’t normally get a lot of praise during the NFL Draft broadcast. But Andres Borregales is a special case.
The New England Patriots made Borregales the highest-drafted kicker this year, taking the Miami product with the sixth pick of the sixth round.
Borregales drew some high praise form the ESPN broadcast. Longtime draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. called Borregales “automatic.” Meanwhile, NFL analyst Louis Riddick called the Miami product a “weapon.”
“He was money all season long,” Riddick said. “I was down at his pro day and watching him kick. It was like the ball was exploding every time he touched it.
