Charles Fisher, Consultant
Charles Fisher is a seasoned NFL scout with a passion for football. After a stellar playing career at the famed Aliquippa High School in Pennsylvania, Charles took his act to West Virginia University. WVU coaches asked Charles to make the move from wide receiver to cornerback during his freshman season and the move paid dividends as he became a 2nd team All Big East performer during his senior season. Charles then made the move to the NFL as a second round (33rd overall) draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals. After winning the starting left cornerback job in his rookie season, he suffered three torn ligaments in the season opener. He played another season and a half with the Bengals but the injury ultimately ended his playing career. During his off time, Charles can be found in his hometown of Aliquippa helping young football players succeed just like he did. This passion to help kids improve their game serves him well at Get Better Sports.
Here are some of the highlights of Charles' career:
1993- 1st team All State football and basketball
1996- CB for the NCAA's No 1 defense
1997- Iron Mountaineer Award
1998- 2nd team All Big East
1999- 33rd pick in the NFL Draft
2002- 2006 NFL scout
