Stewart Lynn "Smokey" Stover (born August 24, 1938) is a former American college fullback and professional football linebacker who was a school Hall of Fame fullback at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. When he was signed in 1960 as an original Dallas Texan in the American Football League, head coach Hank Stram converted him to a top linebacker with excellent reflexes. He played for the Texans in their classic double-overtime victory over the two-time defending AFL Champion Houston Oilers in 1962, and for the Kansas City Chiefs when they won the 1966 AFL title, once again over a two-time defending AFL Champion, this time the Buffalo Bills, and played in the first AFL-NFL World Championship game. After leaving the Chiefs following the 1966 AFL season, Stover played for the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats, winning the Grey Cup with them in 1967.
