David Andrews announced his retirement from pro football last week. On Monday, the longtime New England Patriots starting center, team captain and two-time Super Bowl champion discussed his decision at a press conference at Gillette Stadium.
Entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2015, Andrews made the Patriots’ roster right out of his rookie training camp and saw considerable action from the get-go. He won the center job the following year, and never looked back: over the course of his 10-year career, he started a combined 131 regular season and playoff games for the organization.
