Walter Stanley
Walter Stanley (born November 5, 1962 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former professional American football wide receiver for ten seasons in the National Football League for the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions, the Washington Redskins, the New England Patriots, and the San Diego Chargers.
