George B. Chalmers (October 19, 1908 – August 7, 1988), sometimes referred to as George Palmer,[1] was an American football player.
Chalmers was born in 1908 in Massachusetts and attended Medford High School.[1] He played college football at NYU from 1928 to 1931, earning varsity letters in 1929, 1930, and 1931.[1] He played at the guard, center and end positions for NYU.[2][3] At the end of the 1931 season, he was selected as the second-team center on the New York All-Metropolitan team.[4]
