The most influential executive in the history of the NFL’s Washington franchise, Bobby Beathard, died at 86 on Monday.
Beathard played college football at Cal Poly before a brief stint in the NFL as a player. He was on the preseason roster of the then-Washington Redskins [1959] and San Diego Chargers [1961]. Interestingly enough, those would be the teams Beathard would spend the majority of his executive career with.
