Sounds like Terry Beasley Passed Away

Rest in peace 88.

Great player.

Prayers for the family

Yes CTE and suffered for a long time now. I worked with his step son at one time and I think he had over 20 diagnosed concussions over his career and many undiagnosed.

:( hate that so much. Suicide is such a tough subject. You just never know what they’re going through and feel. Lost three of my best friends to suicide within 4 weeks a couple years ago. Two were twins. If you are ever struggling, PLEASE reach out to someone. You are never alone. You are never too much and you are never a problem.

Sullivan to Beasley.

My first Auburn memories.
Endless hours tossing the ball in the yard pretending to be one or the other.

The helmet to helmet hits, and the head slamming into artificial turf at Legion field(thin layer of carpet laid over cement) were just looked at as part of the game. Play on was the attitude of players and coaches.

I think the field needs to be wider. It might keep guys from launching so much. The speed in the game has changed so much. Also, make teams play a man down for some set number if plays(4,8, whatever) for egregious head shots.

Athens, Ga 1971. I was 12 years old and watched my first Auburn vs Georgia game in Athens I still have the program, ticket stub.
Sully performance that day won him the Heisman but it was Terry who truly showed out.
I wore 88 in high school in his honor. He was my hero!
Beasley, Dick Smoltz, Alvin Bresler, Terry Henley. Tear away jerseys..Good memories!
Very sad day for this ole man.

RIP Legend and God bless. :(

I remember I (unknowingly at first) talked to one of his daughters for a short while on Yahoo Messenger or AOL Instant Messenger while I was a student at AU in the late 90s/early 2000s.

I can't remember how we connected because she wasn't at AU, but we talked a bit. I remember when she finally told me her name, I asked if she was any kin to the former AU football player, and her was response was "Yeah, he's my dad."

RIP.

I can only imagine the footballs flying in heaven between Pat and Terry.

Man that's incredibly sad. Prayers for his family. I can only imagine what they've gone through with his struggles over the years.

My dad and uncle were pretty good friends with Terry Henley from high school, so I've been around him a few times. His stories about Beasley were always great. All those guys were before my time, but hearing my dad and his peers talk about those guys made them just larger than life stars for me as a youngster. Sad that so many legends from that generation are gone now.
