David Andrews' retirement press conference was a heartfelt conclusion to his illustrious 10-year NFL career, marked by genuine emotions and reflections on his journey with the New England Patriots. Despite his aspirations, Andrews was released by the team due to a shoulder injury, influencing both his departure and decision to retire. With gratitude, he expressed no regrets about his 26 years in football, emphasizing his commitment to end his career where it began. His legacy includes being part of two Super Bowl victories and serving as a franchise leader.
I wouldn't change one thing about my 26 years playing this game, but it's time to say goodbye. As it says in Second Timothy, Chapter 4, Verse 7: I fought the good fight, I finished the race, and I've kept the faith.
His injury played a part in that decision - he was cut with a failed physical designation - as well in his own to call it a career.
I wanted to finish it here, and I did.
Andrews stepping away from the game less than two months before his 33rd birthday was preceded by the Patriots releasing him.
