He was what every NFL general manager wanted to be when they grew up, the keenest evaluator of NFL talent
Bobby Beathard has passed at 86, killed by Alzheimer’s that destroyed the greatest and most resourceful professional football mind since Pudge Heffelfinger was paid $500 to play for the Allegheny Athletic Association.
Accept no substitutes, because he couldn’t be duplicated. Bobby Beathard was the builder of champions. Super Bowl champions. But the end shouldn’t have erased what he accomplished. It shouldn’t have taken him 18 years to get into the Hall of Fame. He should have been first-ballot, but the voters couldn’t see past his finish here.
