About George Andrie
Professional Football Player. He played the defensive end position for the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys from 1962 to 1972. Born George Joseph Andrie, he played football collegiately at Marquette University before being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round of the 1962 NFL Draft. During his rookie year, he made the NFL-All-Rookie Team. In 1964, he was moved back to original position of right defensive end and later teamed with fellow Cowboy Bob Lilly to form the original "Doomsday Defense". He made crucial plays for the Cowboys in several big games including the 1967 "Ice Bowl" against the vaunted Green Bay Packers, Super Bowl V, and the 1971 NFC Championship Game. He was also a member of the Cowboys' first Super Bowl winning team in Super Bowl VI in January of 1972. He retired after the 1972 season, after battling back problems. During his NFL career, he was First-team All-Pro in 1969 and three times Second-team All-Pro (1966-1968). He also played in five Pro Bowls and was the MVP of the 1969 game. He played in 141 NFL games and recovered 13 fumbles, had 1 safety, and 1 interception. He was also in the top five in sacks among Cowboy players. After his NFL career was over, he worked in a beer distribution business with Bob Lilly before founding a promotional products company in 1979. In 2014, he diagnosed with dementia, a condition attributed to his football career. He passed away of congestive heart failure.
