Ken W. Buck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kenneth "Ken" William Buck (March 3, 1932 – September 23, 1954) was an American football tight end out of Azusa Pacific who was drafted by the New York Giants in the second round of the 1954 NFL Draft (17th overall) but was then diagnosed by cancer a few months later and died later that year.

In his senior year at Pacific, he caught 45 passes for 600 yards and shared the national pass-catching crown with John Carson of Georgia and Sam Morley of Stanford. He helped the Tigers to a 7-3-1 record in 1950 and then back-to-back Sun Bowl appearances in 1951-52. He was inducted into the Pacific Tigers Hall of Fame in 1984.[1]
