On an ESPN show something called the missing link, they stated Andre was offered a contract to the Washington Redskins and he accepted only later declined when he found out he would have to wear long pants.

I think they said 73 or 74 they said George Allen offered him a contract.

He would have been great for about ten years when he was young and could move. Some people have never seen Andre in the 70's when he was very agile.

Yes Andre had his best years in the 70's he did dropkicks and everything. He was half man half amazing way before MVP was even born. When most of us saw him in the 80's he was nothing compared to the 70's Andre. It is a shame we could not see him in the 70's.

He was actually contacted by the Montreal Allouettes as well when he first moved to Quebec in the early 70`s it was around that same time that Washington express interest in him. I`m not sure of the reason though why he didn`t play football.
