Cornerback
No. 26
North Carolina Central
After playing all 14 games as a rookie in 1977, Charles started all 16 last season. His big moment came in Buffalo's home game against the Jets when he returned an intercepted pass 85 yards for a touchdown. It was the longest interception return in the AFC in '78 and the second in the longest in the NFL.
Charles was the last player drafted by the Bills in '77 after playing just one year of college football, yet his raw talent and outstanding physical tools were recognized. He was the national junior college champion in the 60 and 120-yard high hurdles and has run the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds.
