Description
David Edward Beverly is a former American football punter who played seven seasons in the National Football League for the Houston Oilers and the Green Bay Packers. He played as quarterback and punter for Sweet Water High School. At the final game of his junior season, he sustained what was thought to be a career-ending knee injury and was unable to play in his senior season.
He enrolled at Auburn University, where his father and all five of his siblings had graduated and, encouraged by his passion for sports, decided to join the football team as a walk-on.
During a freshman practice session, head coach Shug Jordan spotted Beverly?s high spiraling punts and asked a ballboy to bring him over to see him. That began a great punting career for David. While at Auburn, he earned three letters and was named to the 1971 All-Southeastern Conference Team. His net punt yardage averages are still records at Auburn.
After earning his degree, he played for one year for the Houston Oilers in 1974, then went to the Green Bay Packers, where he was the starting punter for his tenure there.
