David Andrews has never gotten to experience an NFL Draft. That will change this April in Nashville.

The New England Patriots center, who went undrafted in 2015, will represent his team at the 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville, the NFL announced Thursday.

Andrews is scheduled to announce at least one of the Patriots' third-round picks. (They currently have three). He'll also "mentor" prospects on-site for the draft and participate in community service events in Nashville, according to the league.

The NFL has made a tradition of having current and former players announce mid-round draft picks for their respective teams, and it's produced some memorable moments for New England: Kevin Faulk famously rocked a Tom Brady jersey at the 2016 NFL Draft to support the Patriots quarterback during Deflategate, while Willie McGinest goaded New York fans at the 2014 NFL Draft.

Andrews carrying on the tradition is a unique honor for the fifth-year pro, a two-time captain who has blossomed into a leader and mainstay on the offensive line for the defending Super Bowl champions.

The Patriots currently have a total of 12 picks in the draft, which kicks off Thursday, April 25.
