David Daniel Fales (born October 4, 1990) is an American football quarterback for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at San Jose State.
Fales played high school football at Palma School in Salinas, California. After redshirting freshman year for the Nevada Wolfpack of the University of Nevada, Reno, Fales attended Monterey Peninsula College for two years and transferred to San Jose State University for his junior year in 2012. Under Fales, the San Jose State Spartans went 11-2 in 2012 with the school's first-ever BCS ranking, first AP Poll ranking since 1975, and first bowl game berth since 2006. With 31 touchdown passes in his first year with San Jose State, Fales was the most accurate FBS quarterback for the 2012 season and was MVP of the 2012 Military Bowl.
Fales was born and raised in Salinas, California. A 2009 graduate of Palma High School in Salinas, Fales was twice selected as all-league as quarterback. Palma named junior Fales the starting quarterback after the fourth game of 2007 after the regular starter suffered a severe concussion. In his first game as starter on October 5, a 35–3 win over rival Salinas, Fales completed 5 of 10 passes for 57 yards, including one 26-yard touchdown pass. Palma also had over 200 rushing yards. With an 8-2 record for the regular 2007 season, Palma lost the first round Central Coast Section playoff game 20–14 to Los Gatos on November 16 after Fales lost a fumble with 1:33 left.
