David Andrews

Last season it was pretty obvious how much the New England Patriots missed David Andrews. The offensive line was less than stellar. Andrews might not have fixed the entire problem but he definitely would have made a difference.

Andrews is one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL. Having him back in 2020 would be a big help for New England’s starting QB.

Last season Andrews missed the season due to a blood clot. All signs point to him returning when the 2020 season begins.

Now that Brady is gone, Andrews has a chance to prove that he is a leader. Being a former captain this is a great opportunity for Andrews to establish himself on and off the field. He seems to be a player that everyone loves to be around so it seems like it will be a seamless transition.

Next season we will see how great David Andrews truly can be.
