The Bengals have announced that former player personnel executive Bill Tobin has passed away at the age of 83.
Tobin joined the Bengals as a scouting consultant in 2003 and worked in the team’s player personnel department through 2022. He came to Cincinnati after having served as general manager of the Chicago Bears from 1987-92, general manager of the Indianapolis Colts from 1994-96, and the director of player personnel of the Detroit Lions from 2001-02.
“He was a true NFL success story,” said Bengals president Mike Brown in a press release.
