1975 Profile: Bill Ferguson

Linebacker
No. 58
San Diego State
"A promising young linebacker, Ferguson had a frustrating 1974 season. He missed three weeks of training camp with a knee injury and then had to sit out one regular season game with a hip pointer suffered against Houston. Bill was primarily a backup on the left side during the season and performed on special teams.
Bill has impressed Jet coaches with his quickness and ability to read the play and will be given another look at the outside position. He started the final five games of 1973 and has also worked in the middle. Drafted 4th in 1973, Ferguson has good range and fluidity of motion.
Ferguson 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."
