1962 Profiles: Dainard Paulson and Jack Johnson

DAINARD PAULSON
Cornerback
No. 40
Oregon State
Dainard stepped in and bolstered New York's defensive secondary in 1961. He played all 14 games and made his first career interception.
In his college days at Oregon State, Dainard starred as a tailback in the single wing. As a punter, he set the Pacific Coast record with a 45.4 average per kick.


JACK JOHNSON
Cornerback
No. 42
Miami
"One of the first deals made by the Titans to add muscle and experience to their defensive halfbacks was the acquisition of Jack Johnson, the Pittsburgh-born, steel-like tackler who spent 1961 with the Bills and the Texans. He picked up his previous knowledge with the Bears and has the flexibility to move into the offensive platoon."

-Don Schiffer, 1962 Pro Football Handbook
