AUBURN, Ala. — Former Auburn star receiver and College Football Hall of Famer Terry Beasley has died. Moody, Alabama, police chief Reece Smith says Beasley's death is being investigated as a possible suicide. Beasley was 73. He suffered a number of concussions during his playing career and dealt with decades of health problems. Beasley was a first-round draft pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 1972. He played three seasons in the NFL before retiring in 1975 because of injuries and later was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the NFL on the effects of brain injuries. It was settled in 2016.
