Many in Cleveland were stunned when they traded Wide Receiver, Paul Warfield to the Miami Dolphins after the 1969 season.  As a rookie in 1964, he helped Cleveland win the NFL Championship, and he was coming off two straight Pro Bowl appearances.  The Browns got the third overall pick in the deal, which they used on Purdue Quarterback, Mike Phipps, who did play for 12 years, but is considered to be unremarkable.  As for Warfield, he was about the have the most productive stint of his NFL career.

Ed Newman had to be thrilled when he was drafted by the Super Bowl VII Champions, the Miami Dolphins.  The sixth rounder from Duke did not play that much as a rookie, but he was a member of the Super Bowl VIII winning team.

When Bill Stanfill played at the University of Georgia, he helped the Bulldogs win the Cotton Bowl, and as a Senior he was an All-American and the winner of the Outland Trophy as the top interior lineman in college football.  The Miami Dolphins would land him with the 11^th Overall Pick in 1969, and Stanfill would be a part of the budding defense that would become a National Football League power.

After being drafted from Northwestern State in the Second Round in 1982, Mark Duper only saw action in two Games as a rookie, but this would change when Dan Marino emerged as the Dolphins’ Quarterback.
