1972 Profiles: Wanye Patrick and Jim Braxton

WAYNE PATRICK
Running Back
No. 30
Louisville
"Wayne was enjoying his finest pro season in 1970 when he was sidelined with a shoulder injury in the season's ninth game. An excellent power runner and blocker, he was drafted by the Bengals in 1968 and then signed with the Bills as a free agent. Wayne played three varsity seasons at fullback for Louisville.
Wayne's hobby is listening to jazz music."

-1972 Topps No. 57


JIM BRAXTON
Running Back
No. 34
West Virginia
With his impressive blocking and pass catching ability, Jim provides the Bills with needed depth at fullback. He showed great promise last year before being hampered by an ankle injury.
Jim was an All-American at West Virginia and played both fullback and tight end. In 1970 he was the fullback on the AP All-America team and that year was named West Virginia's Outstanding Amateur Athlete. Jim played in the Shrine East-West Game. He was also a discus thrower in college.
