Posting a random Steeler every day until kickoff or I forget – Day 50: Wayne Gandy


OT Wayne Gandy (1999-2002)

Wayne Gandy was selected by the Los Angeles Rams with the 15th overall pick in the 1994 NFL Draft out of Auburn University, where he had been a part of the undefeated 1993 Auburn Tigers and was recognized as a Consensus First-Team All-American.

After spending four five seasons with the Rams, Gandy spent four with Pittsburgh, starting in 63/63 games. After leaving the Steelers, he signed a six-year deal in March 2003 with the New Orleans Saints, but was traded to the Atlanta Falcons in April 2006 for safety Bryan Scott and a draft pick.

Gandy suffered an ACL tear during the 2007 season and was released in February 2008 before being re-signed in October to replaced injured OT Sam Baker. Gandy was not resigned during the 2009 offseason and retired from playing.

After retiring, Gandy got into broadcasting, starting his own syndication company that broadcasts from Atlanta. He also hosted a weekly TV show for CBS Atlanta Sports and worked as a color analyst for ESPN TV.
