LEXINGTON, Ky. – St. Xavier High School graduate Charles Walker once showed up at the University of Kentucky and walked on to the football team.
He then played right away, returned punts, eventually earned a scholarship and started six games as a senior wide receiver this past season, catching 15 passes for 180 yards.
So when it comes to Walker beating the odds, hey, why not the NFL too?
