Tom Brady Reacts to Former Patriots Champion's Retirement

The New England Patriots saw the official end to David Andrews' career on Monday, as the team held his retirement announcement and presser on Monday to where the ten-year veteran offered an emotional goodbye to the one-and-only franchise he was a part of throughout his time in the league.

Andrews started with the Patriots in 2015 as an undrafted center from Georgia, before then working his way up the ladder to become a staple on this franchise's offensive front for the next decade, being a part of two Super Bowl wins in 2017 and 2019 to cement his status as a key part within the second era of New England's dynasty.

And of course, the leader behind Andrews' two Super Bowl victories, Tom Brady, had to dish some love towards his former center upon his latest retirement announcement.

“David, congratulations, my man. Welcome to the other side,” Brady said, as transcribed by MassLive’s Chris Mason. “You couldn’t have had a better career. You were not only a great teammate, but you were a champion. And playing that center position for our team all those years. As you know, the heart and soul of any great team is the offensive line, and you were the leader. You were right in the middle.”

“I loved every minute with you," Brady said. "I loved being your quarterback. I’m with you every step of the way. You deserve this day. Congratulations.”
