If people were to bet how many more yards this play will gain with the over/under set at 5, most would take the under.īut that would be underestimating Charles’ open-field running skills. Charles creates something (a touchdown) out of nothing in OaklandĪt the six-second mark, Charles has multiple defenders right in front of him with nowhere to go. They are examples of what Charles brought to the table every time he touched the ball, and just five reasons why it’s not an exaggeration to say he is one of the greatest runners to ever set foot on a football field.
