Linebacker
No. 58
San Diego State
"Ferguson impressed the Jet coaches very much last year as a rookie and wound up starting the last five games at right linebacker. He's looked for to continue his development this year and Charley Winner thinks Ferguson has the ability to become a top NFL linebacker.
Bill had a bout with the flu in training camp and lost valuable learning time, but recovered to come along slowly. He loves to hit people and saw some time working in the middle when John Ebersole was hurt midway through the year. Drafted 4th in 1973, he has the good range and fluidity of motion which the Jets like.
Bill was named the most inspirational player on the team in college. His biggest thrill was taking a blocked field goal 60 yards to help San Diego State beat Iowa State. His hometown is El Cajon, California."
