Charlie Joiner
He is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Joiner’s football journey began at Grambling State University, where he played college football for the Grambling Tigers. He was a standout player, earning first-team all-conference honors in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) for three consecutive years. In the 1969 NFL/AFL draft, Joiner was selected by the Houston Oilers as a defensive back in the fourth round. However, the Oilers soon moved him back to his natural position as a wide receiver. Joiner spent three and a half seasons with the Oilers before being traded to the Cincinnati Bengals, where he played another three and a half seasons, though injuries limited his playing time during this period.
It was with the San Diego Chargers that Joiner truly found his stride. After being traded to the Chargers in 1976, he made an immediate impact, earning a Pro Bowl selection in his first season with the team. However, his role diminished in the following years, and he considered retirement in 1978. His career was revitalized when head coach Don Coryell introduced the Air Coryell offense, a pass-heavy system that allowed Joiner to thrive. From 1979 to 1981, Joiner recorded three consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, earning two more Pro Bowl selections and a first-team All-Pro nod in 1980.
Joiner’s career is a testament to perseverance and adaptability. Despite considering retirement in the late 1970s, he went on to have some of his best seasons in his mid-30s, with over half of his career receptions coming after his 32nd birthday. After retiring as a player, Joiner transitioned into coaching, serving as a wide receivers coach for 26 years before retiring from coaching in 2012. His legacy as one of the most precise route runners and durable wide receivers in NFL history remains intact, and his contributions to the game continue to be celebrated.
