Darren Andrews was a high-volume, red-zone threat for UCLA
In the 2017 season, Darren Andrews emerged as one of UCLA’s most reliable playmakers, finishing with 60 catches for 773 yards and a team-high 10 touchdowns, and he was named a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist[3][13]. He stood out for sudden separation, sure hands, and big-play timing, with a stretch in 2017 showing how quickly he could tilt a game when UCLA needed a spark[15]. The catch: injuries interrupted his college arc, so the fit question is about durability as much as talent—when healthy, he looked like a tough, productive chain-mover with scoring punch[11][15].
