William Terry Nofsinger (July 13, 1938 –October 2, 2007) was an American professional football player who was a quarterback for seven seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers (1961–1964), the St. Louis Cardinals (1965–1966), and the Atlanta Falcons (1967). He was one of the select few left-handed quarterbacks in his era.
Nofsinger had a 1-5 record to show for six career starts. Five of them took place consecutively for the Cardinals in the 1966 campaign, when he replaced the injured Charley Johnson in the ninth week of the season. The offense-challenged Cardinals won just one of those games to fall out of postseason contention. In that span, Nofsinger had a 42 percent completion rate, eight interceptions and two touchdown passes.
