EXTRA POINTS

David Andrews is the nephew of long-time NFL head coach and player Dan Reeves. Andrews said the bond between the two is still strong and he still seeks Reeves' advice. "Not many people in my family know what it's like to play in the NFL," he told the Boston Globe. "So he's kind of the only one I can bounce things off or someone who might understand what it's like, so it's definitely cool."

PERSONAL

Married wife Mackenzie in 2017 offseason.
Was ranked the No. 9 center nationally and No. 37 prospect overall coming out of Wesleyan (Ga.) High School in 2011.
