Paul Robinson Played basketball for two years at Eastern Arizona Junior College. He then ran track for 2 years at University of Arizona setting a school record in the 440 yard intermediate hurdles. He didn't play football until his 5th year of college and he didn't get a single carry until the third game of the season. But he played well enough for the Bengal to take him in the third round of the '68 draft.
He lead the league in rushing yards and touchdowns as a rookie.
