American football player
Martin Francis Domres (
DOM-rehs;
[1] born April 17, 1947) is a former American collegiate and
professional football player. From
Columbia University, he was drafted in the first round of the
Common Draft as a
quarterback by the
American Football League (AFL)'s
San Diego Chargers. Rarely seeing action behind
John Hadl during his three years with the Chargers, Domres requested a trade and was acquired by the
Baltimore Colts for
John Andrews and a
1973 first-round pick (25th overall–
Johnny Rodgers) on August 7, 1972.
[2]
[3] He replaced
Johnny Unitas as the starting quarterback beginning in Week 6 of the
1972 campaign after
John Sandusky succeeded
Don McCafferty as head coach and was ordered by general manager
Joe Thomas to bench the veterans in favor of the younger players.
[4]
[5] Domres played in nine professional football seasons from 1969 to 1977 for four teams.
