Patriots | Gramatica was at full strength in 2005

Jerome Solomon, of the Boston Globe, reports New England Patriots PK Martin Gramatica went through rehabilitation in June 2005 after having surgery to repair tears in his lower abdomen and adductor muscle. He was at full strength during the 2005 NFL season, but he did not sign with a team. "I told him, 'I feel bad that you're here with me; you need to be on TV on Sundays winning football games,' " said Jason Biles, a physical therapist who worked with Gramatica at the Bollettieri Sports Medicine Center at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla. "He was kicking 50-plus-yard field goals with me, over and over, and not many people can do that. He has that strength back now, and it's amazing ... great focus, great intensity in his workouts, and he was determined to get back to kicking as quickly as possible. He's been ready for some time."
