James M. Pyne (born November 23, 1971) is a former American college and professional football player who was an offensive lineman in the National Football League (NFL) for nine seasons. He played college football for Virginia Tech, and earned All-American honors. Drafted late in the seventh round of the 1994 NFL Draft, Pyne became a reliable starter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL.
Pyne was born in Milford, Massachusetts. He attended Milford High School and Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut, and played high school football for the Milford Scarlet Hawks and the Choate Wild Boars.
Pyne attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and played for the Virginia Tech Hokies football team from 1990 to 1993. As a senior in 1993, he was selected as a unanimous All-American, becoming Virginia Tech's first player ever to do so, and was also awarded the Dudley Award, which is given to the Commonwealth of Virginia's outstanding player of the year. He was a finalist for both the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy. Virginia Tech retired his number (#73); it is one of only four football numbers retired by the school in over 100 years of football.
