His coaches credited him with over a hundred knockdown blocks during his junior and senior seasons, although not allowing a quarterback to be fired. Andrews was named 2010 Gwinnett County Offensive Lineman of the Year and the All-County First-team Offense of the Gwinnett Daily News.
Andrews was ranked as the No. 1 in a three-star recruit by Rivals.com. Reese Dismukes' class of 2011 offered a 9 center prospect. Andrews had offers from Duke and Michigan, but as a lifelong Bulldogs fan, he waited for Georgia to respond and committed "fully on the spot" when he was given the invitation in February 2010.
College career
Andrews appeared in ten games during his collegiate season at Georgia. For the fall semester, he was awarded the Academic Director's Honor Roll award. Andrews filled the void left at center by Ben Jones' graduation. Andrews played in all 14 games, assuring quarterback Aaron Murray. He was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after an Auburn game in early November as he stood out at 88 percent and had six "dominator" blocks and three knockdowns.
Andrews was added to the Rimington Trophy's preseason watch list as a junior. He started all 13 games at center and shielded quarterback Murray, so Georgia finished second in passing in the SEC. He was named Offensive MVP by Zach Gale and also by Phil Steele at the end of spring practice. Andrews had 13 starts in as many games as he went through his senior season, out of 50 games for his college career. The Vince Dooley Most Valuable Player Award, a national recognition of Georgia, was named second-team All-SEC by the Associated Press, and he was one of six finalists for the Rimington Trophy.
Professional career
Andrews was undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft but as a free agent for the New England Patriots on May 8, 2015.

In Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Andrews made the Patriots 53-man roster and began at center after Stork was put on injured reserve with the designation to return and Wendell was inactive. Andrews played every game through Week 10, having no snaps over the first half of the season. Andrews was ranked in the top two in fan voting at the position, although he was not selected to the 2016 Pro Bowl. Andrews received a performance-based compensation bonus of $237,427.11, the second-highest of any Patriot in 2015, after cornerback Malcolm Butler).
Andrews beat Bryan Stork for the starting center position in 2016, resulting in the team's release from the team. He appeared in all 16 Patriots games on an offensive line that led the team to a 14-2-2 record. Andrews got off in Super Bowl LI against the Atlanta Falcons in the first overtime game and best comeback in Super Bowl history; the Patriots trailed 28–3 late in the third quarter but roared to victory by a score of 34–28.
