FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots had 12 different offensive linemen play at least a snap for them throughout the 2015 regular season. It’s been that type of year.
Injuries have ravaged the line to the point that they entered a couple of games in 2015 with just six healthy blockers (not the usual seven). Last year’s starting center, Bryan Stork, even had to move out to right tackle at one point.
Of course, that was after Stork had returned from opening the year on the short-term injured reserve list (concussion).
Undrafted rookie David Andrews, a center from Georgia, took advantage of his opportunity as one of the surprise stories of the season.
