Norm Standlee

Norman S. "Norm" Standlee (July 19, 1919 in Downey, California – January 5, 1981 in Mountain View, California) was an American football running back for the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers of the NFL. He was drafted out of Stanford University by the Bears in 1941. He paid immediate dividends by finishing fourth in the league in rushing with a total of 414 yards and second in average per carry with 5.1. He helped the Bears to the league championship title over the New York Giants that year before serving in the armed forces in World War II. After the war he joined the 49ers of the All-America Football Conference, and played with them until his retirement after the 1952 season.
