Patriots OL David Andrews Vows to Return After Missing Season Due to Blood Clots
By Will Coleman
Patriots center David Andrews, 27, has been a common fixture on New England's offensive line since 2015.
Andrews is one of head coach Bill Belichick's latest undrafted success stories, but he was unable to suit up for the entirety of this past season. The former Georgia Bulldog was placed on the IR in August after being diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism, but he looks to make a return to the game after one season on the sideline.

This morning, ESPN reporter Mike Reiss tweeted out video of Andrews speaking at a Patriots Charitable Foundation event reflecting on his time with the team and how he feels about his transition back to football.

New England's season ended last weekend in the Wild Card round for the first time since 2009, but at least Patriots fans can look forward to having their captain center back on the field as a starter in 2020.
