The New England Patriots selected the first kicker in the 2020 NFL Draft, taking Justin Rohrwasser out of Marshall with the 159th overall pick.

A kicker! And it's the Patriots taking him. Justin Rohrwasser from Marshall is headed there.

New England needed a kicker after cutting Stephen Gostkowski earlier this offseason.

But given the fact that Bill Belichick literally had his dog sitting in his seat yesterday during the draft there were a ton of jokes made about this pick.

Patriots (of course) take first kicker off the board in Marshall’s Justin Rohrwasser. 💥 🏈 pic.twitter.com/qGHfTSQPvQ

Middle of the 5th and we have our first KICKER!!

Patriots again passing on Fromm, and picking Justin Rorwasser from Marshall.

They replaced their Kicker before their QB!

I have think they did it because Bill likes the dudes name…

This is awesome…😂😂

#Patriots select Marshall K Justin Rohrwasser at 159. He’s the first kicker taken but arguably the 10th-best kicker in the draft. However, I refuse to doubt Bill Belichick’s decision-making.

On a side note, they took him over Fromm and @sgninjournalist is not happy.

The Pats draft the first Kicker off the board? Not only are the Bucs the new Patriots, but the Patriots are the new Bucs
