Quarterback
No. 6
Arizona
"Demory played in only one game in 1974, that as a place kick holder against Los Angeles as he continued in his backup role to Joe Namath and Al Woodall.
1973, however, was a different story as he earned three starting assignments and directed the Jets to two of their four victories. Bill was called back to the team after being released in training camp and suddenly was thrust into a game when both Namath and Woodall were injured.
He started the next three games, winning against New England at Foxboro with a ground attack. He completed one pass, but that 12-yarder to David Knight set up the winning field goal. A week later Bill played an outstanding game against Pittsburgh and almost came out with a victory except for a fourth quarter uprising by the Steelers. Later in the season he took over from Woodall against the Patriots at Shea and led a 33-13 win, throwing a 31-yard touchdown strike to Jerome Barkum. Signed as a free agent in 1973, Bill still needs greater strength in his arm, but he has the savvy to play the game.
Bill majored in public administration and is a new homes salesman for the the Estes Company in Tucson. His hometown is Phoenix, Arizona."
