Warren Livingston (born July 5, 1938) is a former professional American football cornerback. He played six seasons for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. He played college football for the University of Arizona.
Early years
Livingston attended Mesa High School (Mesa, Arizona) where he first began to play football and was a two-way player. In track he set the school long jump record.
He accepted a scholarship from the University of Arizona, where he became a three-year starter. He was a two-way player and a versatile athlete, that in games was used as a running back, cornerback and wide receiver.
In 1959, he received All-Border Conference honors after averaging 6.7 yards per carry, while his teammate Walt Mince had a 6.1 average.[1]
In 1960, he set a school record with an 80-yard punt return against the University of Colorado Boulder. He also had one of his best games against the three touchdown favored Arizona State University team, that was looking to win a fifth Territorial Cup in a row. In the game he had a 60-yard touchdown in a 35-7 upset.[2]
Livingston also was a part of the track and field team, where he competed in the long jump, high jump and sprints. His 24 feet long jump in 1960, made him the third best jumper in school history.
In 1991, he was inducted into the University of Arizona Sports Hall of Fame.
Professional career
Livingston was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys, after not being selected in the 1961 NFL draft. He was moved to cornerback and became a starter as a rookie, until suffering a serious fracture on his left arm against the St. Louis Cardinals and being placed on the injured reserve list on November 6.[3] He was named to the NFL All-rookie team at the end of the year.[4]
He was waived on September 3, 1964,[5] but was later re-signed during the season.
Livingston experienced a difficult 1966 NFL Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers, where he was targeted on key third down plays that would impact the final result.[6] He was released on September 5, 1967, after being passed on the depth chart by Mike Johnson.[7]
Personal life
After football, he received a master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Arizona and worked for Motorola until his retirement in 1994.[8]
His brother Andy Livingston is a former professional American football running back in the NFL. He played professionally for the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints.[9][10]
