Patriots' new kicker Rohrwasser denies tattoo represents rightwing militia

  • Justin Rohrwasser says he will cover logo of Three Percenters
  • New England drafted Marshall kicker in NFL draft on Saturday

The post-Tom Brady era is off to a shaky start at the New England Patriots after a controversy surrounding their new kicker.

As part of the Patriots’ rebuild they selected Marshall kicker Justin Rohrwasser in the fifth round of this week’s draft. However, it soon emerged that the 23-year-old has a logo of the Three Percenters tattooed on his forearm. The group, which advocates for gun rights, has been described as a rightwing militia. Three Percenters have been accused of advocating against immigrants, refugees and minorities.

Justin Rohrwasser had the Three Percenters tattoo as early as 2015, which was still seven years after the Three Percenters’ formation. The symbol didn’t just “change” in recent years. pic.twitter.com/oFh0iqFWHn
