Andrew "Andy" Richard Robustelli (born December 6, 1925, Stamford, Connecticut) is an NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame player and a prominent businessman. He was drafted out of Arnold College by the Los Angeles Rams in 1951. He played for the Rams until he was traded to the New York Giants in 1956. Considered one of the best defensive players of his era, Andy was a fixture on the All Pro teams until his retirement after the 1964 season. He received the 1962 Bert Bell Award as Best Player in the NFL, one of the few defensive players to do so.
