Barnwell makes his NFL award picks: Ranking candidates for MVP, Rookie of the Year, more
Drake Maye or Matthew Stafford for MVP? Which rookies should earn hardware? And no one is beating out Myles Garrett for DPOY, right?
Andy Borregales was drifting off early Saturday morning when his wife Stephanie woke him with news.
“I was half asleep,” the Patriots' rookie kicker said after New England’s 38-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. “My wife told me, ‘We just captured Maduro’ and I was like ‘What?! What are you talking about?’ Then I saw the news.”
As part of a military operation in Caracas, the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
Borregales was born in Caracas, but his family fled Venezuela before his second birthday to escape the authoritarian government, then led by President Hugo Chavez.
Borregales didn’t get into the politics or international legality questions surrounding the capture of Maduro, who continued Chavez’s oppressive policies. He just hoped it marked the start of long-hoped-for change.
“At the end of the day, a lot of us Venezuelans are happy,” he said quietly. “It’s been 26 years of hardship. That’s why my parents had to leave and came here. That’s really why a lot of us left. I’m in support of (Maduro’s capture). My whole family had to move out.”
He said in South Florida, where he grew up and then thrived at the University of Miami, fellow Venezuelans celebrated.
“Even back home in Miami, there was a gas station filled with Venezuelans, gathering and cheering, playing music,” he said. “So many had to leave their home country, not really by choice, but to have a better future.”
He’s found that future in the United States, first in Florida, and now in New England, where Borregales said fans have embraced him warmly in his first NFL season. He said fans with Central and South American heritage have especially celebrated his success.
“It’s been awesome. It’s a Latino thing and a Hispanic thing. If you see someone doing good, maybe they’re from the same country or a neighboring country or just South America and you’re happy for them. I’ve gotten a lot of support from Mexico, Colombia, obviously Venezuela and even Spain. It gives them something to connect with.”
Borregales said he only has two close relatives left in the South American country and both came through the military strike unharmed.
He hasn’t been home since he was a toddler. What he knows of the country where he was born is from pictures and stories. He’d like to someday experience it firsthand.
“I came to the States when I was about to turn 2. I don’t remember it. Going back would mean a lot. I could see where I’m from, where my parents grew up,” he said. “Hopefully, things keep getting better and I can go back and visit.”
