Borregales Steps Into Patriots’ Number 8 | NFL News

0:00On September 6th, so the New England Patriots number 8 jersey, worn by Stefan Diggs last season, is now up for grabs with the new season just. Days away. It's a pretty significant number, and it's interesting to see who steps into it. Turns out it's their second year kicker, Andy Borragales. He used to wear number 36, but he's decided to switch things up and go back to a number that means something to him personally. This number 8 is actually the very first jersey he ever rocked when he started playing football at 5 years old. He kept it all the way through middle school, and it wasn't until his older brother moved on to high school that he started wearing numbers in the 30s. He wore number 36 throughout his college career in Miami, and into his rookie NFL season, where he had a solid year, making most of his field. Goals and extra points. Now, with Diggs gone, Borragales is embracing his old number. He actually had a good relationship with Diggs, and wishes him well in Washington. The coaching staff seems confident in Borragales, noting his maturity and consistent approach to the game, regardless of the outcome.
