Don Lee Beebe (born December 18, 1964) is a former American football wide receiver who played for the Buffalo Bills (1989–1994), Carolina Panthers (1995) and Green Bay Packers (1996–1997) of the NFL, and is considered one of the fastest players in NFL history with a recorded a 4.21 40-yard dash time. After four straight losses with the Bills in the Super Bowl, Beebe finally got his ring with the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI against the New England Patriots.
Don Beebe is one of five children of Don and Barb Beebe. He attended Kaneland High School in Maple Park, Illinois where he lettered in basketball, track and football, graduating in 1983. After attending Western Illinois University, he transferred to Chadron State College in Nebraska, where he set several school football records his senior year and ran a 6.3 60-yard dash on the indoor track team.
Beebe was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the third round (82nd pick overall) of the 1989 NFL Draft. He posted impressive statistics in speed and agility drills at the 1989 pre-draft combine.
In his nine NFL seasons, Beebe caught 219 passes for 3,416 yards, rushed for 28 yards, returned 81 kickoffs for 1,735 yards, and scored 25 touchdowns (23 receiving, one kickoff return, and one fumble recovery). He appeared in six Super Bowls as a player (XXV, XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII with the Buffalo Bills). While Buffalo lost its four consecutive title games, Beebe finally won an NFL championship in his first year with the Packers (Super Bowl XXXI).
