CINCINNATI — Charlie Jones spent six years in college searching for the chance to shine.
The wide receiver went from being a scholarship player at Buffalo to a walk-on at Iowa, looking to make his mark at a major program. The search for more eventually led him from Iowa to Purdue, where he believed he could have a bigger impact as a pass-catcher.
Twelve touchdowns, 1,361 receiving yards and one historic season later, Jones made the mark he was looking for. Now he’s looking to make an impact as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals.
