Since being drafted in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma, Mark Andrews has been nothing short of brilliant for the Baltimore Ravens. The star tight end has made the Pro Bowl three times and developed into Lamar Jackson’s favorite target.
Unfortunately for Andrews, his time in Baltimore is now marred by an ugly drop a 2-point conversion attempt that would’ve tied last weekend AFC Divisional Round game against the Buffalo Bills. The drop led to fans harassing Andrews’ girlfriend on social media and Buffalo fans even mockingly donated to Andrews’ charity.
While it wasn’t all Andrews’ fault, the pass from Jackson was a little and slightly off target, he bears most of the blame for the failure. In the four days since, he’s avoided both traditional and social media. That is, until Thursday, when he took to Instagram to finally speak about the unfortunate incident.
“It’s impossible to adequately express how I feel. I’m absolutely gutted by what happened on Sunday,” Andrews wrote. “I’m devastated for my teammates, my coaches and Ravens fans. I pour every ounce of my being into playing at the highest level possible, because I love my team and the game of football like nothing else.”
Andrews went on to talk about the good and the bad that he’s experienced since the drop. He talked about plans to let it fuel him to become better in the future. And he mentioned the good that has come from it with his charity.
Ravens fans, after some time to cool off, met his statement with kindness as well.
“You’re still a dog man keep working to get back right next year,” one wrote.
