Al Dorow

Albert Richard Dorow (November 15, 1929 – December 7, 2009) was an American professional football player who played quarterback in the National Football League, the American Football League, and the Canadian Football League. He played college football for the Michigan State Spartans, earning All-American honors in 1951. Dorow was selected in the third round of the 1952 NFL draft. After serving the required two years in the military, he played for the Washington Redskins during the 1954, 1955, and 1956 seasons, and for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1957. Released by the Eagles before the start of the 1958 season, Dorow spent two years in the Canadian Football League, playing for Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Toronto. He moved to the AFL for its inaugural season, playing for the New York Titans—the forerunner of the New York Jets—in 1960 and 1961, before being traded to the Buffalo Bills for the 1962 season. Dorow injured his arm in the fourth game of the 1962 season and was unable to play again.
