Pete Beathard was the fifth overall selection in 1964 NFL Daft (Detroit Lions) and the second overall pick in the AFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, where he signed and backed up Len Dawson. In October 1967, Beathard was traded during his fourth season to the Houston Oilers in exchange for defensive tackle Ernie Ladd and quarterback Jacky Lee. He led the Oilers to the Eastern division title, but lost 40–7 to the Oakland Raiders in the AFL championship. Beathard was traded to the Cardinals in 1970, the Rams in August 1972, and returned to the Chiefs in 1973.
