Quarterback
No. 12
Arkansas
"Buffalo Joe. He threw five touchdown passes in one game against the Jets last year, nine in his other 15 games. Not impressive statistics, except that Ferguson also threw for more than 3,000 yards (3,572) for the first time in seven pro seasons. The maturing of Jerry Butler and the rebirth of Frank Lewis should help Ferguson even more this year. Last season's performance was even more impressive because the Bills had hardly any running game- it was reported to have disappeared down Niagara Falls in a barrel.
Born in Alvin, Texas, Ferguson was a college star at Arkansas and was drafted third by the Bills in 1973. He has his own pilot's license and breeds Arabian horses. He got married after he led the Bills to seven victories, the most by the club since 1975."
-Dave Newhouse, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football, 1980 Edition
"Joe set the Bills club record in 1975 by throwing touchdown passes in 19 straight games."
