He was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Texas.

In his second year, Charles rushed 190 times for 1,120 yards, despite only starting 10 games after running back Larry Johnson was suspended. Shortly thereafter, Johnson was released, leaving Charles as Kansas City's starting halfback. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaal_Charles
