Stan Thomas (born October 28, 1968) is an American former professional football player who was an offensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL) for four seasons for the Chicago Bears and Houston Oilers from 1991 to 1994, and prior to that played four years of college football at the University of Texas.[1]
He was a 3-year starter as tackle, including his freshman year, when the Longhorns won the last Bluebonnet Bowl game ever in 1987, but did not play his sophomore year. In his senior year at Texas, he was 1st-team All Southwest Conference and a 2nd Team All-American on a team that won the Southwest Conference Championship and played for the National Championship in the Cotton Bowl. He took heat for predicting a win and calling Miami arrogant, especially after Texas was beaten soundly.[2] In 1990 he was named a UPI All-American Team Honorable Mention.[3]
