SPECIAL TEAMS: (3)

Starters: Stephen Gostkowski, Ryan Allen, Joe Cardona

Back-up(s): N/A

Roster Bubble Boy(s): Corey Bojorquez

New England again has no real competition in camp to go against Cardona and despite his poor snap in the Super Bowl costing New England three points early, he should be back for another season. Gostkowski will be back again as well and the only real competition is at punter.

Bojorquez should get some Patriots beat writers banging out frenzied Twitter posts about his powerful leg in training camp, but the rookie will have to bring more than that to unseat Allen. Unless he masters directional punting and shows a knack for dropping high punts inside the ten yard line, Allen should hold off the rookie in 2018.
