Charles Beatty (born February 8, 1946) is an American politician and former professional football player. He played in the National Football League (NFL) for four seasons.
Beatty was born in Midlothian, but grew up mainly in nearby Waxahachie, Texas. After graduating from Turner High School in Waxahachie,[1] Beatty went on to attend the North Texas State University (now University of North Texas). At North Texas State and later in the NFL with the Steelers, he was a teammate of star defensive tackle Joe Greene, and he served as best man at Greene's wedding.[2]
Professional career
Beatty was selected in the seventh round of the 1969 NFL/AFL draft. He was the second North Texas State player to be selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in that draft — the first being the team's first-round selection Joe Greene.
Beatty played nearly four seasons for the Steelers before finishing his NFL career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1972. In 1974, he played for the Florida Blazers of the World Football League (WFL).[3]
