Tom Bettis, the Green Bay Packers' No. 1 draft pick in 1955 and a member of the 1961 NFL championship team, died Saturday. He was 81.
The former Purdue University standout, the fifth player chosen in that draft, was the Packers' starting middle linebacker in his first four seasons. He eventually became a backup to Ray Nitschke after Vince Lombardi became coach in 1959.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Bettis played in all 84 regular-season games over his seven seasons with the Packers, from 1955 to 1961.Working on autographed 1987 Topps Baseball set:

French sports stars, including an Olympic champion swimmer and one of the world's best sailors, were among 10 killed in a helicopter crash while filming a reality TV show in Argentina.
Champion sailor Florence Arthaud, Olympic gold medallist swimmer Camille Muffat, Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine and seven others died when two helicopters filming the survival series "Dropped" smashed into each other in the rugged mountains of La Rioja province, local officials said.
"Apparently, the two helicopters collided as they were filming. There are no survivors," provincial spokesman Horacio Alarcon told AFP.
He said the weather conditions were good and the cause of the crash, which happened late afternoon local time on Monday, was unknown.
Local media showed the wreckage of the two helicopters in flames on the dry scrubland in the northwestern Argentinian province.
Eight French passengers and their two Argentine pilots died in the crash, a police source said.
'Immense sadness'
Arthaud, 57, was considered one of the best sailors in the world, a woman who conquered what had been a strictly male-dominated sport. Her titles included the 1990 Route du Rhum, the most prestigious race to cross the Atlantic solo.
Muffat, 25, was one of the top swimmers in French history, winning three medals at the London Olympics in 2012, including gold in the 400-metre freestyle.

As great as Chuck was to us in this hobby, he was an even better football player! Agreed, really hurts to lose him. He was a unique character and oneof the greatest, most feared players the game of football has ever seen. RIP Concrete Charlie.
