One of the reasons for the success of the New England Patriots over the past 15 years is because of their solid play on special teams. Even though special teams sometimes is forgotten behind the flashiness of offense and defense, the unit is a very important one.
Good special teams can flip field position in an instant, and also make big plays to spark a team. The Patriots have always valued the special teams unit, and to no surprise, they are usually one of the best in the league.
This offseason, they recently invited trick shot kicker Josh Gable to their rookie minicamp for a tryout.
