Ante Josip "Tony" Mandarich (born September 23, 1966) is a Canadian former football tackle who played in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons. Referred to as "the best offensive line prospect ever" during his college football career with the Michigan State Spartans,^[1] he was selected second overall by the Green Bay Packers in the 1989 NFL Draft. Mandarich was unable to live up to expectations, however, and released following four seasons with the team. After five years away from football, he returned with the Indianapolis Colts, where he spent his last three seasons. He is the only top five pick in his draft class not inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.^[2]
