Gary Dennis Danielson (born September 10, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan) is a former professional American football quarterback. He played for the Detroit Lions from 1976 to 1984 and for the Cleveland Browns in 1985, 1987 and 1988. He amassed 13,764 passing yards and 81 touchdowns in 101 games as a professional. He ranks fourth in Lions history in passing yards and touchdowns. His five touchdowns in a 1978 game against the Minnesota Vikings is still a Lions record.

Danielson played high school football at Divine Child High School in Dearborn, Michigan, graduating in 1969.

Before turning pro, Danielson played for three years at Purdue University, graduating in 1973. He spent two years in the World Football League, signing with the Lions after that league's demise.

After retiring from the Browns, Danielson joined ESPN as a college football analyst. He continued to work in that capacity for ESPN/ABC Sports until 2006, when he joined CBS Sports as a college football analyst. At CBS, he works with Verne Lundquist on the network's No. 1 broadcast team during Southeastern Conference telecasts.

Gary Danielson was an analyst for the SEC Championship game on December 2, 2006. Danielson’s remarks in the fourth quarter of Florida’s 38-28 victory over Arkansas in the SEC title game sparked some controversy. He was accused of [http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/hiestand-tv/2006-12-04-hiestand_x.htm lobbying for Florida] to play in the national title game against Ohio State and against Michigan getting a shot at a rematch against Ohio State. Florida and USC went on to dismantle the Big 10 pair: Florida defeated Ohio State 41-14 while USC defeated Michigan 32-18.
