Herschel Beahm, known for his online moniker Dr Disrespect, is a famous video game content creator. He rose to the spotlight after streaming renowned battle royale games on Twitch. Later, he got banned from the purple platform, which is still a mystery. But the 40-year-old video game streamer has his brand again on YouTube.
Beahm has been active on live streaming platforms since 2010. But he got attention in 2017 when he bagged his first ‘Streamer of the Year’ award. Later in 2019, he won the award again and then a nomination in 2021. His popularity brought him brand deals like Mountain Dew. Recently, he got linked with the NFL team San Francisco 49ers.

San Francisco 49ers recently showed a video where Beahm appeared in his Dr Disrespect guise at their base. The 40-year-old streamer entered a door and then came out wearing the San Francisco 49ers jersey. If that was not enough, the ‘Two Timer’ later joined the NFL team in their training.

The YouTuber also showcased some of his impressive throws at the 49ers’ base. Later, he interacted with the players and even with the mascot, Sourdough Sam. Furthermore, it was not the first collaboration between the two parties. Earlier this year, Doc represented the 49ers at the 2022 NFL Draft, where he picked a draft for the NFL team.
