‘That desire was still down in there’: David Andrews explained why he opted to return to Patriots in 2024

David Andrews’ football future was uncertain the last time he took the podium for the 2023 season, leaving the door open to possibly retire following the Patriots’ miserable year.

Four months later, Andrews is back in the fold in Foxborough. He’s participating in offseason workouts as he prepares for his 10th season, including the 2019 season he missed due to a blood clot.

Andrews, who turns 32 in July, explained that his decision to return for another year had less to do with his passion for football and more about still wanting to do the work necessary for a full season.
