Robert Bateman (born February 15, 1954) was an American football player. He played quarterback for the Vermont Catamounts football team.[1] He “had the dual distinct of being UVM’s last quarterback and perhaps the school’s best.”[2] He earned several awards “including All-Yankee Conference, All-ECAC, All-New England, and All-America.”[3] He transferred to Brown.[4]
The Cincinnati Bengals selected him in seventh round of the 1976 NFL draft. He was a member of the Bengals, the New England Patriots, and the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.[5]
He allegedly once played for UTEP under a pseudonym.[6]
