Main

The Philadelphia Eagles made Shawn Andrews the 16th overall pick of the 2004 NFL Draft.[2] The Eagles made this selection after trading up with the San Francisco 49erswho drafted him with the 16th overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. The day after selecting Andrews, the Eagles traded John Welbourn to the Kansas City Chiefs, officially making Andrews the team's starting right guard. He responded with a strong preseason although his season was short-lived. Shawn would break his leg in the opening game of the season against the New York Giants and would miss the entirety of the Eagles Super Bowl season. Andrews returned to the starting lineup for the 2005 season, and started all 16 games for an injury-plagued Eagles team that finished with a 6-10 record. Andrews played well enough to be named an alternate for the NFC Pro Bowl team. Shawn came into the 2006 season as one of the Eagles top offensive linemen and it showed as the Eagles awarded him a seven year contract extension that will keep him with the team through 2015.[3] On December 19, he was selected, as a starter, to the Pro Bowl.
