Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsSelections getting announced by current or former players instead of league executives is nothing new at the NFL draft. Back in 2016, for example, Kevin Faulk famously went on stage wearing a Tom Brady jersey during the heyday of the Deflategate scandal. Two years earlier, Willie McGinest faced the crowd in New York by expressing his love for them before speaking about “your and my New England Patriots.”Whether or not David Andrews’ appearance on the draft day stage will become similarly memorable remains to be seen. But one thing we know: as the league announced yesterday, the Patriots’ center will be among a group of 64 so-called “NFL legends” to announce a day two draft pick this year.

Needless to say that he earned his spot on both stages after going from draft day afterthought to starting offensive lineman, team captain, and two-time world champion.Report: RB Rex Burkhead and LB Ja’Whaun Bentley being sent to IR If that cover photo doesn’t sum up what the last couple weeks have felt like around here, I don’t know what does.According to the Boston Globe’s Jim McBride Chase Winovich Buffalo Bills Jersey , running back Rex Burkhead and rookie “maybe it’s OK to hope the future is bright on defense?” linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley are both being placed on Injured Reserve today.And of course, ESPN’s Patriots reporter and all-around class act Mike Reiss appears to have already dug up the tape on what happened to both guys. The Burkhead injury we could’ve seen coming, as he left the game early - the Bentley one, not so much. Here’s Burkhead’s last play from Sunday:And here’s Bentley’s:We’ll keep this post updated if/when we get more information.In the meantime, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, nobody say “What else could go wrong?”UPDATE (sort of): Our old pal Evan reminds us that both players are eligible to come off of Injured Reserve after 8 weeks:If Bentley’s injury isn’t a season-ender Color Rush Chase Winovich Jersey , bringing him back is a no-brainer, as he’s apparently one of a few guys I can count on one hand that actually seem to be able to do anything on defense.
