Pete Gonzalez (born July 4, 1974) is an American former professional football quarterback.
In that year, he led the Panthers to a come-from-behind-victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Backyard Brawl 41–38 in double overtime.
(It was the first season of the current overtime rules in college football, which was designed to eliminate tied games.)
He spent two seasons with the Steelers, both years as the third-string quarterback, throwing just one pass that was complete for eight yards to Hines Ward.
After his NFL career, Gonzalez played two seasons in the Canadian Football League with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
