gold star for USAHOF

345. George Andrie

Playing his college ball at Marquette, George Andrie played his entire 11-year career with the Dallas Cowboys. 

Except for his final season, Andrie was Dallas’ starting Defensive End (nine years on the right side) and compiled a five-year streak of Pro Bowls (1965-69).  Andrie was a physical marvel, with the size and strength to stuff the run and the 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.
