Paul Dunn Jr., was twelve when he saw his first football game in Balboa Stadium in San Diego, California. When he saw the Chiefs run out of the tunnel in the bright California sun in their red and white uniforms he decided then and there that he wanted to be a professional football player. He had no idea just how he would achieve his dream but never the less he was to begin his long, difficult journey to the NFL in spite of the many obstacles he would face. Paul grew up in the in the black community of San Diego. His family was poor, so he would have to depend on hard work and scholarships to achieve his dream. He was a wide receiver in high school and received national recognition. With many offers from colleges, he chose San Francisco State University as it was close to home and their program was one where they primarily passed the football. For a time the Cincinnati Bengals scouts had lost track of Paul, but as fate would have it they finally located him, and in 1970 he was drafted by the Bengals and his life-long dream of playing in the National Football League came true. If you love the game of football you will enjoy learning some of the inside facts of the game as told by Paul and some of the trials and tribulations he went through to play the sport that he loved so much. He has a wonderful sense of humor and the readers will have a few laughs and may also shed a few tears. Paul says, "Not everyone can be a super star ...it takes eleven men on the team and they all have their parts to play." The author, Judith Smith Wilson asked Paul if he knew then what he knows now, ie: the injuries he has suffered and the health problems he now faces because of playing the game of football, would he do it all again? Paul replied... ..."IN A HEART BEAT!"
