Here’s how the NFL debut of Blaine’s Andrew Price went on Saturday
It may not have resulted in any catches, but former Blaine standout Andrew Price did make his NFL preseason debut with the Detroit Lions Saturday.
According to a message on Monday via Twitter from his father, Darrell, the younger Price saw special teams action on the field goal and PAT (point after touchdown) teams during Detroit’s 16-6 victory over the New York Jets.
“He should get reps at TE (tight end) this next game,” Darrell Price wrote.
He also tweeted a picture of Andrew Price, who is currently wearing No. 47, in uniform lined up on special teams during Saturday’s game.
