He was a defensive force for two of the NFL's fiercest rivals during the 1990s. He accumulated 100.5 sacks as a defensive end over his twelve year National Football League career. He was the UPI NFC Defensive Player of the Year in both 1990 and 1994. He is also the best professional athlete to wear the jersey number 94. He is Charles Haley.
Charles Lewis Haley was drafted out of James Madison University in the fourth round of the 1986 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Haley would play his first six years in the NFL wearing a 49ers jersey as a dominant pass rusher. Charles then went on to play with the Dallas Cowboys, a five-year stint that started in 1992. Charles Haley was a key member of that 1992 Dallas Cowboy defense that helped propel them to a Super Bowl Championship, the first for the Cowboys since the 1970s.
Haley has the distinction of being a Super Bowl champion five times, with two different teams (twice with San Francisco and three times with Dallas.) He was also a five time pro-bowler (1988, 1990, 1991, 1994, and 1995.) His best year statistically, was as a 26-year old with San Francisco in 1990 when he racked up 16 sacks.
