About Charlie Waters

Charlie Tutan Waters is an American former professional football player who spent his entire 12-year career as a safety for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Clemson Tigers. As a senior, he caught 44 passes for 738 yards, and even though his season was cut short with a shoulder separation, his record stood until Jerry Butler broke it in 1977. That season, the Cowboys won the NFC Championship but lost Super Bowl X to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He holds the NFL record for most playoff interceptions with 9, including 3 in one playoff game, and has the unique achievement of blocking 4 punts in 2 consecutive games.
