Episode Nine of 'The Season' on NFL.com Chronicles New York Giants Offensive Tackle Shawn Andrews' Long and Painful Journey Back to the NFL
The ninth episode of 'The Season' is now available on NFL.com. This week's episode takes a look at the unexpected way which Shawn Andrews' career in the NFL has unfolded. Selected in the first round with the 16th overall pick of the 2004 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, Andrews quickly emerged as one of the top offensive linemen in the league, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2006 and 2007. However, in the summer of 2008, Andrews was diagnosed with depression and missed most of training camp that year because of it. Matters only became worse when he injured his back in Week 2 of the 2008, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. In 2009, Andrews reinjured his back in training camp, yet it was his battle with depression that caused outsiders to sincerely doubt his commitment to playing football. The Eagles sent Andrews to Los Angeles for physical therapy, where he met therapist Heather Milligan and, driven by a desire to prove all of his critics wrong, worked tirelessly to rehab his injured back. After he was released by the Eagles in March 2010, Andrews signed with the New York Giants in August, eventually earning a starting spot in November. However, Andrews' back flared up yet again, forcing him to the sideline indefinitely. While his desire remains unquestioned, his status for the season is in doubt.
Episode nine can be found here.
Every week on NFL.com, a new webisode of 'The Season' will premiere, opening a new window into professional football to which fans and observers are usually not privy. The characters that will emerge over the next 12 weeks will spread across a broad spectrum -- from quarterbacks to coaches, general managers to scouts, beer vendors to executives. 'The Season' is a project that's not so much the story of the 2010 NFL season, but the tale of an NFL season -- an important distinction. While who wins and who loses, who starts and who fumbles are all part of the story, they're more incidental to the greater purpose of the piece -- to provide a single, all-encompassing biography of a season.
