Charlie Garner III (born February 13, 1972) is a former American football running back in the NFL. In his career, he has played for the Philadelphia Eagles (1994-1998), San Francisco 49ers (1999-2000), Oakland Raiders (2001-2003), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2004).

He was a multi-talented running back and an excellent receiver. In the 2002-03 season with the Oakland Raiders, he was the team's leading rusher with 962 yards and 7 touchdowns, while also leading all NFL running backs in receiving with 91 receptions for 941 yards and another 4 touchdowns. He also previously held the record for most rush yards in a game by a 49er (201) later broken by Frank Gore. The crossed forearm symbol he displayed after scoring was a tribute to his neighborhood of Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia.

Garner grew up in Falls Church, Virginia and attended J.E.B. Stuart High School. His senior year he was selected 1st Team All-Metropolitan (Northern Virginia, Suburban Maryland and the District of Columbia), 1st Team All-State and named Virginia's player of the year after rushing for more than 2,000 yards and 38 touchdowns.

In 1992, Garner set junior college records for rushing yards in a game (430) and yards in two consecutive games (765) at Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College. Garner then transferred to the University of Tennessee and graduated with a business degree. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2nd round (13th pick) of the 1994 NFL Draft.

In August 2005, Garner was released by Tampa Bay after suffering a knee injury the previous season. During his career he rushed 1537 times for 7097 yards scoring 39 touchdowns, caught 419 passes for 3711 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Good lord. Seriously, does anyone ever proof read the articles before posting?

The hottest topic (is) town is who will replace Phillip Fulmer at Tennessee. Just look at the newspaper, turn on the radio and browser the blogs. (how do your browser blogs?)

"A year later, Mims was convicted of refusing to take a blood-alcohol test after being pulled over for suspicion of drunken driving. His driver’s license was suspended for a year. A judge had previously found Mims innocent of driving under the influence because prosecutors failed to prove their case.

In 1999, a man claimed Mims attacked him outside a fast-food restaurant and stole his tacos."

Seriously? Why even add that to the article? What were his stat's at Tennessee? Any memorable games played here? Jackasses

I'm assuming everyone that is voting yes is a fan of another SEC school. There is no way anyone could possibly continue to get the kool-aide down at this point. I'm sure Clawson will be the scape-goat this time around and Fulmer will be hear again next year. After another crap year, Chavis will be the goat.

On Poll: Would you re-elect Phillip Fulmer as coach of the Vols?

"Whoever Coach decides to put out there at quarterback, we're going to ride with him to the end, until the wheels fall off," Jones said.
Obviously we will ride with him to the end and a little bit farther. I Just saw those wheels on my drive back from North Carolina.

On Wanted: Clear-cut starter

Posted on September 30 at 12:26 a.m.

Take ALL the time you need Phil, seriously, don't rush back.

On In the end Walker, Martin played well

Sorry to hear about your loss and my prayers will be with you and your family. Take all the time you need.

On Fulmer may miss Tuesday's practice to attend friend's funeral
