I have been looking and I can't find much on this guy. I couldn't find anything negative.
He has prototypical size and better strength and athleticism than Jonathan Martin.
He was a two starter and played in 8 games as a sophomore.
He played on an enormously successful OL.
He was an academic all-star and track star in HS as well, so I doubt he is stupid or lazy.
Seems to have good character.
Does anyone know why this guy wasn't drafted in the 7th round or signed right away as a free agent??????????
He looks awful good for camp fodder.

A rookie free agent replacing jake pro bowl long lol laughable

Running @ 24 FPS
I highly doubt he could fill the shoes of a 4x Pro Bowler (btw he's ONLY played for 4 seasons.)
Jake Long is one of the elite lineman in the league. Not many could guys could fill the void if he were to leave.
Aaay rookie, thats what the link is for man.

Andrew McDonald went to the Miami Dolphins’ rookie mini-camp with no guarantees whatsoever. There were 12 unsigned rookies there, he said, and there were perhaps one or two agent contracts left to be had. When he left camp, he and the rest of the 12 were told that the general manager and the rest of personnel staff would review the film and get back to them.
But the former Indiana left tackle learned days later that he was the chosen one. He officially received and signed his free agent contract on Friday, and is guaranteed to at least stay with the team into training camp.
It obviously means a lot,” McDonald said. “It’s kind of surreal to make it through that level of competition and be able to play at this level of football. I owe it all to God for the opportunity to make it this far. I’m going to keep giving it my best and hope it gets even better.”
McDonald said the rookies had four practices to make an impression. They were also working with all of the Dolphins drafted players and the undrafted free agents who signed in the days following the draft.
I felt like I had a really strong showing when I was out there,” McDonald said. “Apparently it was enough.”
McDonald was also scheduled to attend the rookie mini-camp of the Green Bay Packers, but considering the odds he had to beat to get a contract from the Dolphins he had no intentions of taking another chance.
“Nothing’s really guaranteed and I had a lot of fun when I was down there,” he said. “I got along well with the GM and the coaches. It feels fine. It feels like the right fit.”
