DeKALB — Chad Beebe, redshirt senior wide receiver, had aspiring dreams to become a player in the NFL, but major injuries throughout his high school and college career hampered his chances of fulfilling that dream.
The 185-pound Beebe started playing football at a very young age in Buffalo, New York, wishing he could follow in his father’s footsteps.
Beebe is the son of former professional wide receiver Don Beebe, who played for the Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers, and had six appearances in the super bowl.
“My dad would have me jumping outside barefoot because if you ever jump on concrete and hit your heels, it hurts really bad, so through that he taught me to be on the balls of my feet,” Beebe said.
