Andy Dalton

Andy Dalton, a professional football quarterback currently with the Philadelphia Eagles, has had a distinguished career in the National Football League (NFL), starting with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2011. During his tenure with the Bengals, Dalton was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and twice named the MW Offensive Player of the Year. Notably, he led the Bengals to five consecutive playoff appearances from 2011 to 2015 and set franchise records for passing touchdowns and single-season passing yards. These accomplishments earned him the Emerging Player Award from the NFL Players Association at the end of his rookie season.

Dalton's passer rating in 2015 ranked him second among NFL quarterbacks, and his peers recognized his abilities, ranking him 35th on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016. His commitment to the sport remained strong as he transitioned to new teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, and Carolina Panthers. Even while serving as a backup for the Cowboys, Dalton stepped into the starting role in place of an injured teammate and continued to deliver strong performances.

Off the field, Dalton is also known for his philanthropy. He and his wife founded the Andy & Jordan Dalton Foundation, which supports families and children in need. In 2017, over $250,000 was donated to the foundation by grateful Buffalo Bills fans. As Dalton has moved through his career, his skills, dedication, and commitment to giving back have remained steadfast. He recently signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, continuing his journey in the NFL.
