He didn't play for Central that season, but in a 16-and-under little league program. "I had always played in the streets,** Paul said. "I saw these guys in their uniforms and I wanted to be a part of that. That was new and exciting to me. I was one of the biggest guys on the team and played fullback.'* Even though he was the league's most valuable player, Paul had to make the Central varsity team on his own laurels the following year. Hedid, as a wide receiver and a defensive back, and the Johnny Come Lately made a name for himself by running back four punts for touchdowns as a senior. Michigan State showed interest in Paul, but his high school coach advisMt him tr? tViinlr qKah* ??? ? ?v Muun nwvui uiv predominantly black schools down South. Paul wasn't enamored with that idea, so he decided to take some time off. He obtained a job as a supervisor for a crew that cleaned buses for the Detroit Transit Authority. Making Connections A friend from Detroit, Chris King, was playing football at WSSU and King told Coach Bill Hayes about his high-stepping friend who was stuck in Detroit washing buses. Hayes called Paul and arranged for a visit to North Carolina. "When I visited here it was early spring and cold back in Detroit, but it was warm here," Paul said. "1 knew I wanted to do this." Playing in the Rams' runoriented attack suited Paul, who was familiar with grounding out games since Central had used the wishbone. "My block is a key block in the wing-T attack," he said. "Anyway, I've always done the dirty jobs. "It gets frustrating sometimes because I don't have the (receiving) numbers, but a lot of the coaches feel I'm the best receiver in the league." Last season, the Rams made an effort to pass more than in previous seasons in the Hayes era.

Paul caught 16 for 362 yards and four touchdowns. "Robert Clark (of North Carolina Central) had more than 1,300 yards and people think he's a better receiver," Paul said. "But he's been at the party, while I've been at the dance." ? In yards per catch, the Ram receiver was better. He averaged 22.6 yards a reception, compared to a 20.7 average for Central's Clark. Paul hopes to get a shot with a National Football League team next summer. He knows that the little recognition he's received as a pass catcher will be a hurdle. But he hopes to catch the scouts' eyes another way. "I realize my path to the NFL will probably be as a specialty teams person," he said. "I want to return a few punts for touchdowns." Paul only returned two punts last season, but Hayes is going to put him in deep safety more often this season. Visualizing Success Because Paul is an artist, he often visualizes how he can help make a play work for the team.

And I can imagine myself out jumping the defender." The WSSU senior said the most important aspect of being a receiver is concentration. He said he had problems sometimes with his concentration in practice. Since Hayes is of the philosophy that you play games as you practice, Paul had to buckle down and get his act together. "Sometimes I'm wide open' and drop a pass,'* he said. "Coach Hayes will get mad. He's not a rah-rah type coach. He wants you to concentrate. "You have to leave all your problems in the dorm, so you can concentrate. That's been my biggest lesson at WSSU." For the most part, Paul has kept to himself in his stay at WSSU. Beasley is his best friend now and the two Detroit native* sometimes hit the road with Paul's stepfather, Mansoor Ali. "I'm too sensitive sometimes and they say it's because I was raised by a mother," Paul said. "I'll start pouting if Coach gets on me."
