Paul Warfield was elegance in motion. Few receivers in NFL history combined grace and efficiency the way he did. With the Cleveland Browns and later the Miami Dolphins, Warfield never needed high volume to dominate—he made every catch count. A master of deep routes and effortless separation, he averaged an extraordinary 20.1 yards per catch for his career, one of the highest marks ever for a Hall of Fame receiver. Warfield was an 8× Pro Bowler, 2× Super Bowl champion, and a key weapon on Miami’s perfect 1972 team. Follow @NFLHuddleUp to resurrect legends like him. #NFL 🏈 #History #Football #Browns #Dolphins

You don’t see guys move like that anymore…it was a feel that they had. I’ve not seen anyone move like Warfield and Sayers since. They were special.

Warfield had 2 TD's against Dallas I can still remember! One is pictured in 1969 against Dallas. The other one happened in the 1967 playoff game against Dallas that went for 75 yards! How could we ever trade Warfield?

Warfield, Gale Sayers, and probably Lynn Swann. True grace in motion. Nobody did it better than Paul Warfield.

Saw many of his college games. Of course Woody never actually threw him the ball.
