Patriots two-time Super Bowl champion center David Andrews to announce retirement
Published in Football
BOSTON — The Patriots will hold a retirement press conference for former center David Andrews on Monday at 3:30 p.m. ET, the team announced Wednesday.
Andrews, 32, was released by the Patriots in March after 10 seasons with the organization. He signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia in 2015 and went on to start 121 of 124 games played including Week 1 of his rookie season.
The 6-foot-2, 300-pound offensive lineman started three Super Bowls with the Patriots, winning two during the 2016 and 2018 seasons. Andrews’ Super Bowl LI win came against his hometown Falcons. His next championship, Super Bowl LIII, came in his hometown Atlanta.
Andrews missed the 2019 season with blood clots but returned for the 2020 season. He was placed on injured reserve four games into the 2024 season and missed the rest of the season.
The eight-time captain and fan favorite was still weighing his future options as recently as April. He spent time at the University of North Carolina, assisting his former head coach, Bill Belichick, with their football program this spring.
The Patriots signed Garrett Bradbury in free agency and selected Jared Wilson in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft out of Georgia to replace Andrews. The team also has Ben Brown, Cole Strange and Wes Schweitzer as options at center.
