He got to the sideline area fast and cut up field for like a 70 yard touchdown just like Jim Brown or Leroy Kelly in Cleveland. He ended up AFL leading rusher and Rookie Of The Year. I think Leroy Kelly in Cleveland was NFL leading rusher the same year. Paul Robinson was a big reason Bengals won NFL North in 1970. Bengals Fans need to know how good The Cactus Comet was. He got traded for Charlie Joiner who later got traded for Coy Bacon, all Top Players. The 68 team wasn't very good, but Paul Robinson was.
Paul Robinson is a classic Paul Brown discovery. He was a track athlete in college. He only played one season of football at Arizona and was not even the #1 RB. But Paul Brown used a third round pick on him. Robinson had a short career, but he led the AFL in rushing his rookie season and was a 2 time Pro Bowl selection.
