George Joseph Andrie (born April 20 1940 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is a former American football defensive end in the NFL. Andrie prepped at Catholic Central High School (Grand Rapids, Michigan). He wore uniform #66 and played his entire professional career with the Dallas Cowboys. He was 6 ft. 6 inches (1.98 m) tall and weighed 250 lb (113 kg).

Andrie was drafted in the sixth round of the 1962 NFL Draft out of Marquette University by the Cowboys. The college had dropped football prior to his senior year.

He played most of his career next to defensive tackle Bob Lilly. Together they helped to form the Cowboy's original "Doomsday Defense". Andrie was named to the Pro Bowl five times and All Pro once during his career.

In the 1967 NFL Championship game, often referred to as the Ice Bowl, against the Green Bay Packers he picked up a fumble and ran it in for a touchdown.

Quarterback sacks were not an official NFL statistic during Andrie's career. However, he is unofficially credited with a career total of 97, [ [http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/football/cowboys/stories/112207dnspocowlede.25599ab.html dallasnews.com] ] with a single season high of 18.5 in 1966.
