Chris Eric Thomas (born July 16, 1971) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Cal Poly Mustangs. He played in the NFL for the San Francisco 49ers, the Washington Redskins, the St. Louis Rams, and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Thomas attended Ventura College before transferring to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, where he majored in English and was a preseason Harlon Hill Award candidate with the Mustangs in 1992.[3] Although he played sparingly his final year of NCAA football due to injuries, he launched his pro career by signing with the then-San Diego Chargers in May 1993.[4]
