ANDY ROBUSTELLI'S BIO
Robustelli was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1951 and played on two Rams Championship teams. In 1956, Giants co-owner Wellington Mara orchestrated a trade for Robustelli, who provided a tremendous lift in the Giants title drive that season. Robustelli, who stayed with the Giants through the 1964 season, played on a winning team in 13 of his 14 pro seasons. During his career, he played in eight NFL title games and seven Pro Bowls.

He was named All-NFL seven years, two with the Rams and five with the Giants. Was acknowledged as the field leader on a Giants defense that was largely responsible for the Giants participation in six championship games and winning the 1956 league title. He also served as a defensive player-coach. Robustelli was a durable player who missed only one game in his 14-year career.
