Where are your former Browns now? DE Paul Wiggin

The only NFL club Paul Wiggin played for was the Cleveland Browns. He was a defensive end taken in the sixth round of the 1956 NFL Draft. Even though he was a native Californian, he fit right in with the Midwest lifestyle.

Wiggin played for legendary coach Paul Brown. He was also in the Browns’ rookie class with fullback Jim Brown although Wiggin was actually drafted the year before.

He was selected and played in the 1957 College All-Star game versus the New York Giants. This annual event pitted a roster of graduated seniors (already drafted) against the reigning NFL champions in a charity game that benefited various Chicago-area charities.
