CINCINNATI — Longtime Bengals Player Personnel Executive Bill Tobin has died, the team anounced on Friday.

Tobin was 83 years old and joined the Bengals as a scouting consultant in 2003. He worked in the personnel department through 2022.

“He was a true NFL success story,” Bengals President Mike Brown said in a statement. “He was a good person and I considered him a good friend. With Bill, I respected everything he said. I just took it as a given. He had an eye for players and what they would develop into. If he said the guy was a good player, then he was a good player; that’s all I would need to know. We will miss him.”

Bill's son, Duke Tobin, has worked for the team since 1999 and is the Bengals' current Director of Player Personnel.

Bill Tobin also served as the General Manager of the Bears (1987-92), Colts (1994-96) and was the Lions Director of Player Personnel from 2001-02.
