[edit] Professional career
He most recently played for the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL. He was drafted as the 15th overall pick (1st round) of the 1994 NFL Draft by the L.A. Rams. Gandy spent five seasons with the Rams before spending four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. On March 2, 2003, Gandy signed a six-year deal with New Orleans Saints. After three seasons with the Saints, he was traded to the Atlanta Falcons on April 7, 2006 for Bryan Scott and a draft pick. The trade was made because they wanted to find a replacement for Kevin Shaffer who signed with the Cleveland Browns.
For the 2007 season, Gandy was named as one of the Falcons team captains.
On October 7, 2007, with 1:05 remaining in a game with the Tennessee Titans, Gandy suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and missed the remainder of the season.[1]
On February 15, 2008 the Falcons released him.
