Fifty-five years after he first joined the Kansas City Chiefs as a scout, Bobby Beathard found himself as the latest member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Beathard is the architect behind seven different teams that went to the Super Bowl, and he’s largely heralded with his work with the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins much more than his tenure with Kansas City.
Beathard is the man who hired Joe Gibbs as a first-time head coach. He drafted multiple Hall of Famers like Russ Grimm and Junior Seau and Darrell Green.
