Paul Serafin Dickson (February 26, 1937 – June 7, 2011) was a defensive tackle in the National Football League. Over his 12-year career, Dickson played for the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, and St. Louis Cardinals. He played college football for Baylor University.
Dickson attended Waco High School before moving on to Baylor University, where he became a two-way right tackle and a two-year starter. As a sophomore, he was a part of the upset win (13-7) against the University of Tennessee in the 1957 Sugar Bowl.
Dickson was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the first round (9th overall) of the 1959 NFL Draft. The Rams used him as a backup offensive tackle. He was waived on September 13, 1960.
Dickson was claimed off waivers by the Dallas Cowboys and played as an offensive right tackle (8 starts).
The Cowboys traded their first round draft choice in the 1961 NFL Draft, as part of the deal to get Eddie LeBaron from the Washington Redskins, so on December 27, 1960, he was traded along with their first round pick (#4-Gary Collins) in the 1962 NFL Draft, in exchange for the Cleveland Browns first round draft choice (thirteenth overall) in 1961, in order to select future hall of famer Bob Lilly, the first draft choice in Cowboys franchise history.
