Biden got 4 draft deferments due to being in college and then law school. One due to asthma.
Here's "Asthma Joe" boasting about being a star athlete at the time he was getting 5 draft deferments to stay out of Vietnam:
"“Sports were as natural to me as speaking was unnatural. And sports turned out to be my ticket to acceptance — and more. I wasn’t easily intimidated in a game."
Archived editions of The News Journal, the main newspaper of Wilmington, Del., reveal a trove of information about Biden’s high school athletic trajectory.
On September 21, 1960, the Journal printed a season preview for Archmere’s football team, with sports reporter Hal Bodley writing, “[Biden] is one of the best pass receivers on the team.”
Archmere’s football coach at the time, E. John Walsh, echoed praise of Biden’s skills as a receiver to the failing New York Times in 2008.
Archmere cruised to its conference title with a perfect 8-0 record. It was a storybook season, and Biden was at the forefront.
In the conference scoring race, Biden finished fifth with four touchdowns through four games for 24 points, higher than any other Archmere player.
When his four non-conference games are also taken into account, Biden’s point total that year skyrocketed to 60, putting him among the highest in the state of Delaware.
The News Journal also reports that Biden was a member of Archmere’s baseball team. Available box scores show that he played outfield and usually batted in the latter half of the lineup.
