Otis Ray Norton (born September 22, 1937) is a former American sprinter who competed in the 1960 Olympics in Rome.[1]
As a top-ranked sprinter, Norton's speed was highly coveted by the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL), who attempted with very limited success to convert Norton from track to football. He played parts of the 1960 and 1961 seasons for the team.
