What Jets GM Joe Douglas can learn from the late Bobby Beathard

The NFL lost a Hall of Famer on Wednesday, as long-time executive Bobby Beathard passed away at the age of 86 from Alzheimer’s complications. Beathard was the architect of the Washington ‘Hogs’ teams under Joe Gibbs that won three titles in the 1980s and ’90s. In his 33 years as a scout, director of player personnel, and general manager, Beathard went to seven Super Bowls, winning four of them. His crowning achievement came early on with the perfect 1972 Dolphins.
