Stanley Hubert Mauldin (December 27, 1920 – September 24, 1948) was an American football offensive tackle who played for the Chicago Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL). He died of a heart attack after a game against the Philadelphia Eagles in 1948.[1]
His number 77 is retired by the Cardinals. This cause of death is disputed by direct family members, as later accounts from Cardinal team members say he was accidentally kicked in the back of the skull during the course of the game, causing him to die of internal bleeding. He left behind a wife, Helen Hall Mauldin, and two boys, Richard D Mauldin, and Stanley Jr Mauldin.
Stanley Mauldin was also a World War 2 Veteran, serving in the Army Air Corps. He flew 35 missions overseas in World War II. In 1945, he was named to the All-Army Air Force Eleven.[2]
