Andre Debose (born September 12, 1990) is a former American football wide receiver. He was a member of the Oakland Raiders and Indianapolis Colts. He played college football at Florida.
A native of Sanford, Florida, Debose attended Seminole High School, where he was teammates with Ray-Ray Armstrong. Debose helped Sanford to the FHSAA Class 6A title over Teddy Bridgewater's Miami Northwestern by catching a 40-yard pass from Armstrong for the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds.[1] He set the School record for the most return touchdowns and was tied for the Southeastern Conference (SEC) record with 5.[2] [3] [4] [5]
Debose was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the seventh round, 221st overall in the 2015 NFL draft.[6] He was expected to compete for the kick return job, however, he suffered a torn Achilles during organized team activities, which placed him on season-ending injured reserve.[7] In his second year with the club Debose was waived/injured on May 24, 2016.[8]
On July 30, 2016, Debose was signed by the Indianapolis Colts. He was waived by the club in mid-August only about two-weeks later.[9]
On February 2, 2017, Debose and the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) agreed to a contract.[10]
On May 23, 2017, Debose was placed on the Argonauts' retired list.[11]
