Paul Donald Justin (born May 19, 1968) is a former quarterback in the National Football League for the Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals and the St. Louis Rams. Prior to his time in the NFL, he was the starting quarterback for the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football League and the Frankfurt Galaxy of the World League of American Football. He played college football at Arizona State University.
Justin attended Schaumburg High School, before moving on to Arizona State University.
He became the starter at quarterback in the seventh game of his sophomore season, after passing Daniel Ford on the depth chart. He completed 56% (84 of 150) of his passes, threw for 1,063 yards, 5 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, while helping the team post a 6-5 record.
In 1989, he completed 33 of 47 passes for 534 yards (school-record) and 4 touchdowns in a 44-39 upset of No. 23 ranked Washington State University. He finished the season with a 6-4-1 record, 2,591 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
In 1990, the Sun Devils opened the season with victories over Baylor University and Colorado State University, but would lose 4 consecutive games, 3 of them while Justin was out with a dislocated left shoulder suffered during a 30-9 loss against the University of Missouri. He also spent two days in a hospital with a probable case of appendicitis, that was later diagnosed as a gastrointestinal problem and caused him to lose 17 pounds. He posted a 4-7 record, 1,876 yards, 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
