The New England Patriots' 2025 NFL Draft was all about reshaping the team under new head coach Mike Vrabel. Special teams and field position are a crucial part of winning games, and Vrabel showed the importance by drafting a kicker Andres Borregales (Miami), and long snapper Julian Ashby (Vanderbilt).
There have been many ups and downs for the New England Patriots this season. But throughout it all, one player has remained dependable. And that is punter
Michigan State punter Ryan Eckley entered the Spartans' program as a walk-on with something to prove. Going into last season, he only had one career punt and was facing the expectation of filling the void left behind by Bryce Baringer, who had been one of the best punters in all of college football.
Baringer recorded the second most punt attempts in football last season. Things will look plenty different for the New England Patriots this season. And after remodeling their coaching staff and watching longtime veteran Matthew Slater — as well as Cody Davis — retire this offseason, those changes extend to their special teams unit.
Former Michigan State All-American punter Bryce Baringer proved himself to be one of the top rookies in the NFL last season, but now, he has showcased his golf skills as well.
There are expected to be a lot of changes in the New England Patriots locker room before the 2024 season gets underway. The coaching staff has already seen significant turnover, most notably with Jerod Mayo replacing Bill Belichick as head coach.
Bryce Baringer averaged 46.9 yards per punt in his first NFL season. New England Patriots punter Bryce Baringer has been named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s 2023 All-Rookie team, the organization announced Tuesday.
Rookie punter Bryce Baringer seemed to be the Patriots’ best shot at seeing a player from Bill Belichick’s squad make the Pro Bowl this season, but it appears those hopes have been dashed.
It marks the first time since 2000 no Patriot will make the Pro Bowl. The NFL officially announced the 2024 rosters for the Pro Bowl Games Wednesday night, in which zero New England Patriots were selected.
In a forgettable season in which the Patriots are trending toward their worst record in 30 years and Bill Belichick might lose his legendary job, it's not surprising that New England is almost getting shut out of Pro Bowl voting.
NFL Pro Bowl voting is underway. Wednesday was the first glimpse at how early is going. For the New England Patriots, rookie punter Bryce Baringer is the only player getting much love.
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick loves special teams play, and it had to crush him that his 2022 team had some of the worst special teams units in the league.
