Gurode became one of the top Centers in the last half of the 2000s, going to five straight Pro Bowls (2006-10). He was so good and natural playing directly in front of the Quarterback that you had to wonder why the Cowboys braintrust ever thought about moving him from that position in the first place. A knee injury and contract discussions led to him leaving Dallas in 2011 for Baltimore via free agency.

Andre Gurode was an All-American Offensive Lineman with Colorado, and the Dallas Cowboys grabbed him with their Second Round Pick. Gurode impressed in camp and won the starting job at Right Guard, which he held for the first three seasons, before coming off of the bench in 2005, his fourth year in the pros. A move to Center (his college position) the following season was just the tonic that he needed to become a star Offensive Linemen in the National Football League.
