[edit] Post-prep career
After a standout high school career, Logan Mankins attended Fresno State University blocking for current Houston Texans quarterback David Carr.
As a rookie for the Patriots, he started all 16 games, making him one of just three rookies to do so in 2005, and helping to justify his status as a first-round pick to early critics who considered him a "reach" in the first round.
On October 16, he was ejected out of the game vs. the Denver Broncos after hitting defensive lineman Ebenezer Ekuban below the belt following a missed 53 yard field goal try by Adam Vinatieri. It is believed that he did so because his hand was stepped on by Ekuban.
