1974 Profile: Dennis Cambal

Tight End
No. 30
William & Mary
"Cambal spent his rookie season as a fine member of the special teams and as a backup tight end. Active for seven games, most of them early in the year, he came to camp as a running back, but was moved to tight end after two weeks and developed steadily at that position. Cambal may used in the backfield again this year. He has good size and attitude to play pro football.
Dennis came into the pros as a 14th round pick of Oakland in 1972 and taxied with the Raiders until cut loose during the year. He was picked up by the Jets as a free agent in the spring of 1973.
Cambal was a national high school champ in the 12-pound hammer throw with 202 feet, 1/2 inch. He majored in English and was a Dean's List student at William & Mary, where he was a teammate of David Knight. His hometown is West Yarmouth, Massachusetts."
