Van Doren played 10 regular-season games with three starts for San Francisco that season. Cleveland used the acquired pick on SMU tackle Don Goss, correcting the legacy row's uncertainty between two different 1954 selections.

New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco acquired quarterback Arnie Galiffa from New York in August 1954 for defensive end Bob Van Doren. Galiffa appeared in four regular-season games for the 49ers without a start, completing three of 12 passes for 54 yards and throwing four interceptions. He left the NFL after that season. The return was limited, but San Francisco at least received regular-season snaps from the player it acquired.
