Bobby Beathard, who spent more than three decades as an NFL executive, has died at the age of 86.
He died Monday from complications from Alzheimer's disease at his home in Franklin, Tennessee, his son Casey told The Washington Post.
A 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee as a contributor, Beathard was a personnel executive for five teams in his career, including Super Bowl champions in Miami and Washington. He was part of 10 division winners and four Super Bowl winners overall, including the 1972 Dolphins team that finished undefeated.
His greatest success occurred in Washington, where he served as general manager from 1978 to 1988.
