Chad Ryland kicked at the University of Maryland for just one season. But, one of the team’s mottos still resonates with him: the best is ahead.

Coming off a challenging rookie season for the New England Patriots, where he connected on just 16-of-25 field goal attempts, Ryland knows better things reside in his future.

“The [Terrapins] motto, TBIA: the best is ahead,” he said after practice Wednesday. “I’m certainly looking forward to it. I’m no coward to a challenge and certainly want to continue to grow in my craft and will hopefully grow each year and take each offseason moving forward through how many years I’m blessed the players as serious as I did this offseason.
