RICHMOND, Va. — Former general manager Bobby Beathard will be the 49th member of the Washington Redskins' Ring of Fame.
Beathard was the architect of the Redskins' Super Bowl-winning teams. Washington won three and appeared in four over a span of 10 years.
President Bruce Allen announced the honor Saturday during training camp. The 79-year-old Beathard will be added Nov. 13 against the Minnesota Vikings during the Redskins' annual "Homecoming" game.
Beathard spent 11 seasons as Redskins GM, from 1978-1988. He hired Joe Gibbs and drafted Darrell Green and Art Monk as Washington won the Super Bowl in 1983 and 1988 and made it in 1984.
