Default (LA Times) 80's Redskins Linebacker, Mel Kaufman, 50 - Santa Monica High School Letterman

Mel Kaufman

Linebacker for Redskins in '80s

Mel Kaufman, 50, a Los Angeles native who played in three Super Bowls
as a linebacker for the Washington Redskins, died Feb. 7 at his home
in Santa Margarita.

An autopsy determined he died of natural causes, specifically an
intra-abdominal hemorrhage related to pancreatitis. Kaufman had
complained of abdominal pains before his death.

Kaufman made the Redskins as a free agent out of Cal Poly San Luis
Obispo in 1981 after catching the eye of Bobby Beathard, then the
team's general manager.

Beathard, also a Cal Poly alumnus, was at the university to work out
another player, defensive back LeCharls McDaniel. He ended up signing
both.

Kaufman went on to start 78 of 91 games with Washington. He ended his
playing career at the end of the 1988-89 season.

A team captain, Kaufman played on the Redskins' victorious Super Bowl
teams in 1983 and 1988 and in the 1984 title game, which Washington
lost to the then-Los Angeles Raiders.

After retiring, he served as the team's scouting supervisor for
several years.

Kaufman was born Feb. 24, 1958, and earned two varsity letters in
football at Santa Monica High School.

At 6 foot 2 and less than 220 pounds, Kaufman was considered
undersized for a linebacker but after a redshirt year at Cal Poly, he
started for four years on a team that won the Division II national
championship in 1980. He graduated in 1984.
