New England Patriots third-year offensive lineman Jake Andrews is reportedly in town working out early, ahead of the start of the team's voluntary offseason program on April 7, per ESPN's Mike Reiss.
Andrews, the 2023 fourth-round draft pick out of Troy, was selected by former Patriots coach Bill Belichick as the potential future option at center behind longtime captain David Andrews. Unfortunately, Jake Andrews has been sidelined for back-to-back seasons with injuries.
He suffered a season-ending torn meniscus injury in training camp last year.
It could be now or never for Andrews heading into the 2025 season under newly-hired coach Mike Vrabel. The Patriots signed veteran center Garrett Bradbury as their likely starter, and both Ben Brown and Cole Strange are likely the lead backups on the depth chart.
That puts significant pressure on Andrews to stay healthy and earn a spot on the roster. He isn't one of Vrabel's draft picks, and he could find himself easily expendable.
This could also be the year where he turns it all around and repays the team's patience with his performance on the football field.
