David Milton Stalls (born September 19, 1955) is a former American football defensive end in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Los Angeles Raiders. He played college football for the University of Northern Colorado and also played in the United States Football League for the Denver Gold.
Stalls attended Hamilton Taft High School and did not start playing football until 9th grade, because he used to focus on Ice hockey instead.
After not receiving much interest and writing letters to 40 prospective schools, he received a scholarship offer from Division II Northern Colorado University. He was a four-year starter at defensive tackle and received third-team Little All-American honors in 1975.
Stalls was drafted in the seventh round (191st overall) of the 1977 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. In 1978, he was used mainly as a pass-rush specialist. In 1979, he started the first 12 games at left defensive tackle (replacing the retired Jethro Pugh) ahead of former first-round draft choice Larry Bethea, until being replaced by Larry Cole, after the Cowboys traded for John Dutton. He finished with 51 tackles and 5 unofficial sacks.
