Remember last year when Nick Folk was a model of consistency for the New England Patriots? Well, yet another roster move had fans fairly shocked last week when the team opted to name rookie Quinn Nordin the starting kicker.
While we’ve seen Cam Newton go, among other transactions, this one perhaps flew under the radar as a sort of shocker.
Is that Nordin is a rookie? Or that he was undrafted? Or that he’s officially kept the Patriots 12-year streak of a UDFA making the 53-man roster?
