Shawn Andrews Continues His Comeback

by Charles Costello on September 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm

USA TODAY has a very interesting story on Giants’ offensive lineman Shawn Andrews, who is attempting a comeback after being diagnosed with clinical depression. It’s amazing, and very sad, to hear how Andrews has been treated.

“I’ve been called everything in letters,” he says. “Some of the stuff I’m even embarrassed to say. One said, ‘The next time I read your name, I hope it’s in an obituary.’ “

Andrews recalled another fan who once asked for his autograph. The same person turned on him after he could not find it within himself to report to training camp in 2008. “You’re a disgrace to the world,” the man told him.

Yes, the Giants need help on the offensive line. That’s why Jerry Reese and Tom Coughlin are giving Andrews a chance. But anyone with a heart has to love that he’s getting this chance.
