Gregg David Garrity (born November 24, 1960) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles.[1] He played college football for the Penn State Nittany Lions, and played high school football at North Allegheny High School in Wexford, Pennsylvania.
