Former Redskins general manager Bobby Beathard was inducted into the Redskins Ring of Fame during halftime of the team’s game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 13, with a ceremony that served as the culmination of Beathard’s legendary run in Washington.
Beathard is one of the most successful general managers in both Redskins and NFL history. Under his leadership, the Redskins reached the Super Bowl three times, winning Super Bowls XVII and XXII. After Beathard’s departure in 1988, the Redskins won yet another championship, capturing Super Bowl XXVI with many of the key chess pieces Beathard assembled.
