Playing his college ball at Marquette, George Andrie played his entire 11-year career with the Dallas Cowboys.
With the exception of his final season, Andrie was Dallas’ starting Defensive End (nine years on the right side) and would compile a five-year streak of Pro Bowls (1965-69). Andrie was considered a physical marvel with the size and strength to stuff the run and incredible speed to rush the passer. Dallas credits him with 97 Sacks, though again, we have to say this is unofficial as that stat did not exist until 1982. Late in his career, Andrie competed in two Super Bowls, the first where the Cowboys lost to Baltimore, but he had a great game where he knocked out the Colts' Quarterback, Johnny Unitas. Andrie and the Cowboys would win Super Bowl VI the year after.
