Ohio State football | Q&A with former Buckeye Paul Warfield

Dispatch sports reporter/columnist Rob Oller each week finds a former Buckeye for a question-and-answer session.

Paul Warfield

Age: 72

Years at Ohio: 1961-63

Current residence: Rancho Mirage, Calif.

Paul Warfield is one of seven former Ohio State players enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, about an hour from his childhood home in Warren. The three-sport star athlete (football, baseball and track) was a receiver in the NFL with Cleveland and Miami -- and one season (1975) with Memphis in the short-lived World Football League -- but spent most of his time at OSU as a running back and defensive back in the single-platoon system of the day.
