At WR none other than Paul Warfield#42

is recognized as one of the premier wide receivers ever to have played in the National Football League. While his career totals for numbers of catches may not seem in line with those accumulated by other great receivers, as any student of the game understands, the truth isn’t always in the numbers.
A first-round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns in 1964, Paul played in Cleveland six seasons before going to the Miami Dolphins in a blockbuster trade in 1970. He returned to Cleveland in 1976 after five seasons with the Dolphins and one season with the Memphis Grizzlies of the failed World Football League.
Even though he played on ball-control teams through most of his career, he managed to haul in 427 passes for 8,565 yards and 85 touchdowns. His 20.1 yards-per-catch mark ranks among the best in the history of the game. And he did it with a trademark smooth, graceful style that left observers and victimized defenders awestruck.
As a rookie, Warfield caught a career-high 52 passes. His outside speed was the perfect compliment to the power running of Jim Brown. During his first six years with the Browns, the team played in five conference championships, as well as the 1964 championship game. Because of his blazing speed, elusive moves, and great leaping ability, defenses often found it necessary to double cover him.
Warfield, a six-time All-NFL choice who was elected to eight Pro Bowls, was a long ball threat who intimidated the opposition. His mere presence on the field proved to be almost as beneficial to the running game. The best example of this may have been in 1972 when the Dolphins went undefeated. That year Miami ran the ball 613 times while passing on just 259 occasions. The Dolphins’ philosophy was to use the forward pass as a threat to make the ground game more effective. The Dolphins rushed for a then-NFL record 2,960 yards.

You know, I dont have enough time for creating a whole new team. 1980 Air Coryell for sure
Team is:
G: Dan Fouts (Pocket Prescance, Rocket Arm, Play Fake)
G: Kellen Winslow (BAB, TIM, Possesion)
S: Fred Dean (Clutch, Rip)
S: Charlie Joiner (Clutch, Route God)
S: John Jefferson (In Game)
B: Chuck Muncie (BT)
B: Louie Kelcher (Rip)
B: Gary Johnson (Sack Master)
B: Glen Edwards (Coverage Bonus)
B: Pete Shaw (Quick Feet)
B: Windrell Bowden (Closing Speed)
Fred Dean was a all-around better player than Muncie, so I made the switch
