Patriots center David Andrews says being coached by Dante Scarnecchia is “like building a house”

Entering the fifth season of his NFL career, David Andrews is a two-time world champion as well as the New England Patriots’ undisputed starting center and one of the team’s leaders — quite the development for the former undrafted rookie free agent. This development happened because of Andrews’ abilities both on and off the field, but the role offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia played cannot be underestimated either.

While Scarnecchia enjoyed his short-lived, two-year retirement when the Patriots brought Andrews in, the veteran coach has helped him grow from being Bryan Stork’s backup to becoming one of the best centers in all of football.
