Robert William Paffrath[1] (July 3, 1918 – May 21, 2005) was an American professional football player who was a halfback. He was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 1941 NFL draft.[2]
He took time away from football to serve in the US Army Air Forces during World War II, where he was a private first class - though he played football while in the Army too.
He played for the Miami Seahawks and the Brooklyn Dodgers of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC), for the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union, and for the Edmonton Eskimos of the Western Interprovincial Football Union.[3] Paffrath also played one year in the Ontario Rugby Football Union with the Toronto Indians, where he was MVP.
