The New England Patriots are one of three teams reportedly scheduled to meet with Florida State University kicker Ryan Fitzgerald. The team will hold a private workout for the Seminoles' specialist, per The Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
Fitzgerald could be exactly what the Patriots are looking for in their search for a new starting kicker. He went 13-of-13 on field goal attempts last season. He also made all 14 of his point-after attempts. Fitzgerald earned First-Team All-American honors and was selected for the All-ACC Second-Team.
He is a highly-regarded kicker in Seminoles' history, ranking third in school history with six 50-yard field goals made. He is seventh in total field goals made with 58 and fifth in total points scored with 352.
.@FSUFootball K Ryan Fitzgerald went a perfect 13-for-13 this past season. Arguably the top kicker in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Patriots need to add a kicker, either through the draft or free agency.
Joey Slye signed with the Tennessee Titans in free agency, and John Parker Romo is currently the only kicker on the Patriots' roster. Fitzgerald is arguably the best kicker in the 2025 NFL draft class and a potential Day 3 pick for New England.
