The Jets added a quality depth piece a couple of days ago, signing guard Josh Andrews.

Andrews has spent his NFL career with three different teams over five seasons. That includes the Eagles (two stints), Vikings and Colts. Andrews has appeared in just 25 games over his career and has never made a start.

The 28-year-old will be a backup for the Jets, primarily at guard. He’ll play behind both Alex Lewis and Greg Van Roten in 2020.

With that being said, let’s get to know Andrews a little more.

The Joe Douglas Connection

Jets general manager Joe Douglas is quite familiar with Andrews after the two spent time together in Philadelphia.

Douglas was brought in as the Eagles’ VP of Player Personnel in 2016 when Andrews was entering his fourth year with the team. In 2016, Andrews appeared in three games as a backup guard. Then, in 2017, Andrews was on the Eagles’ practice squad for the entire season.

After letting Andrews go before the start of the 2018 season, the Eagles decided to bring him back to their practice squad again. So Douglas knows the type of player Andrews is and understands that he was just buried on the depth chart.
