Wide Receiver
11th Round
Mississippi State
"Drafted with the Jets' second pick in the 11th round, Buckley has strong hands and will go over the middle for a tough catch. He's a bit fragile off his dimensions, but has never had serious injuries, and has an aggressive style of coming back after the ball.
All-SEC in 1972 and second team in 1973, a hamstring pull kept him out of the Senior Bowl. Bill caught 102 passes for 1,632 yards and 14 touchdowns during his career, averaging 16 yards per catch. The 14 touchdowns are a Mississippi State record.
Bill also participated in track during his freshman year and majored in philosophy. His hometown is Starkville, Mississippi."
