Andre Durie (born July 27, 1981) is a Canadian former professional football running back/slotback who played for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) from 2007 to 2016. He signed with the Argonauts on May 10, 2007, as a free agent after he went undrafted in the 2007 CFL draft.[1] He played CIS football for the York Lions.
Durie played CIS football for York University in Toronto. He started playing for the York Lions in 2003 after he set a junior Ontario Varsity Football League record with 22 touchdowns in a season. In 2004, Durie had a record-breaking season starting eight games at running back and set an Ontario University Athletics record for single game rushing yards with 349 and single-season York records for rushing yards (1,367), scoring (96 points), and rushing touchdowns (15), and a career York record for rushing touchdowns (23). Durie also tied a CIS single-game record with six touchdowns to lead York to a 55–33 win over Waterloo.[2]
In the second game of the 2005 season he suffered nerve damage in his knee after a botched juke on third down and sat out the remainder of the 2005 and 2006 seasons.[2]
