Andrews received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Louisiana State University, where he was an athlete, winning a Southeastern Conference Championship in polevaulting. He completed his residency at Tulane Medical School and completed fellowships at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the University of Lyon.

He also is the team doctor for the Alabama Crimson Tide, Tampa Bay Rays, Auburn University Tigers, and Washington Redskins.

Great resume haha

Think he lives in Alabama now, so that probably explains the Alabama and Auburn thing.

Don't know but can you imagine the money he has made and still makes.

The list of athletes he's worked on is incredible. Just the autographs from all of them is worth a few million

I'm sure the WWE will put him in their HOF when he retires. They give him more TV time showing him fixing up their stars more than some of the actual talent.

There are a number of contributors who should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame before Andrews namely Marvin Miller and Bill James.

His main practice was in Birmingham for many years, but I believe he does most of his work in Pensacola now

He’s done a lot of great work. Drew Brees’ shoulder is the main highlight, but he’s worked on so many great athletes and done a great job

Seriously how does one guy get all the attention? I cannot believe and there are not tens of thousands of orthopedist who can’t do what he does.
