Bob Grim (born May 8, 1945) was a key member of Oregon State's football team that reached the 1965 Rose Bowl. He then played in the NFL for eleven seasons.
Grim grew up in Red Bluff, CA and was recruited by Tommy Prothro as a halfback and kick returner. As a sophomore, he made an immediate contribution to the 1964 team that faced Michigan at the Rose Bowl.
When Dee Andros took over in 1965, Grim was not exactly featured in the power-running attack, but still stood out as running back, receiver and on special teams. He was the number three ball carrying option behind Pete Pifer and Paul Brothers (both Oregon Sports Hall of Fame members).
His senior year, Bob was the Beavers leading receiver and second-leading rusher. He was selected to the Coaches All-America Bowl, East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl, where he was named Outstanding Back.
Grim was selected in the second round of the 1967 NFL draft by Minnesota. Bob played 11 seasons as a receiver with the Vikings, New York Giants and Chicago Bears. He played in Super Bowl IV and XI, both with Minnesota, and finished his career with 194 receptions for 2,914 yards and 16 touchdowns.
Bob Grim settled in Bend after his retirement from the sport and worked as a Beaver broadcaster for two decades. Grim was inducted to the Oregon State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1991.
