The New England Patriots took a look at another leg on Thursday. The team worked out veteran punter Jamie Gillan, the former Browns and Giants booter nicknamed "The Scottish Hammer," per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Gillan's visit comes as Matt Haack and Bryce Baringer are the punters currently on New England's roster, and Garafolo noted there is no signing yet but the Patriots will see what they decide moving forward.
