Dean Spanos calls longtime scout, NFL executive, North County resident 'a regular guy who happened to be anything but'
Bobby Beathard, who led the San Diego Chargers to their only Super Bowl appearance as part of a Hall of Fame football career, has died. He was 86.
Beathard’s first draft pick as the Chargers’ GM was Junior Seau, who went fifth overall to San Diego in the 1990 draft. Like Beathard, Seau ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Beathard was inducted as a contributor in 2018, the same year he made the Chargers Hall of Fame. Beathard was known for his scouting acumen. Former Bills and Colts General Manager Bill Polian, voted into the Hall of Fame in 2015, called Beathard “the single-greatest evaluator I ever came across.”
He was hired by the Chargers in 1990, charged with rebuilding a dilapidated franchise that had not been to the playoffs in seven seasons.
