Throwback Thursday: Cliff Harris & Charlie Waters

Two guys from different backgrounds who paired up to become one of the best safety tandems in the history of professional football.

Cliff Harris.... Charlie Waters.... You cannot mention one without mentioning the other. The two men came into the National Football League in completely different manners and from different backgrounds. Waters was drafted in the third round of the 1970 NFL draft. He had been an All-ACC wide receiver at Clemson. To this day, Charlie still ranks eighth all time on the Tigers yards per reception list. Harris was an undrafted free agent out of tiny Ouachita Baptist University.
