Patriots Draftee Explains White Nationalist Tattoo and Vows to Cover it up

The New England Patriots appeared to have found the successor to Stephen Gostkowski in the 2020 NFL Draft, as they used a fifth-round selection on Marshall kicker Justin Rohrwasser.

Rohrwasser comes with some serious baggage, however, as the former Thundering Herd kicker sports a tattoo of the logo of "The Three Percenters," a far-right, white nationalist group. While threatening in America, the group are considered by some to be arguably the most dangerous of their kind in Canada.

Rohrwasser made 85.7% of his kicks during his final season, but his college productions means next to nothing if he his tattoo was indeed added to his body in a show of support to the group.

Rohrwasser claims that he got the tattoo when he was a teenager, and that he thought the logo represented a military support group. Rohrwasser claims that he will cover the tattoo and that is clearly "supports something I do not want to represent."

If Rohrwasser is being truthful and his tattoo is a byproduct of a youthful moment of ignorance, the Patriots might have found themselves a kicker. If his tattoo continues to cause problems, or his explanation is proven to be false, it can and should end his NFL career.
