Joiner stood only 5-11 and weighed just 185 pounds -- small by NFL standards even in the 1970s -- but the Grambling graduate was a true giant of pro football by every other standard.
Charlie already was aware of how hard his father had worked as a part-time truck driver to earn a living for his family.
When Joiner's number was called in the huddle, he attacked the opposing secondary in the same precise manner he approached the accounting books in his off-season job in Houston as an oil- company accountant.
Joiner succeeded Saunders as the club’s receivers coach in ‘87 when Saunders was promoted to head coach during the midpoint of Joiner’s final campaign as a player in ‘86.
Joiner produced four 1,000-yard seasons during his tenure in San Diego and topped the 70-catch barrier three straight seasons from ‘79-81.
Joiner was inducted into the Louisiana Hall of Fame in ‘90 and was officially enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on July 27, 1996, becoming just the 13th post-World War II receiver to be honored among the league’s all-time greats in Canton.

'''Charles Joiner Jr.''' (Born October 14, 1947, in Many, Louisiana) is a former football player who starred in the NFL for eighteen seasons, virtually exclusively at the position of wide receiever.
If Charlie was the commissioner of the NFL we might be able to get to know our local team again because players would play longer and not jump from team to team like they now do.
This is due to the fact that Charlie's size 7, smaller than normal head, required a median size shell while most other players wore a large size shell.
Charlie had the original factory installed "Wildcat" sweatband removed to give the helmet the same feel of his original 1969Houston Oiler suspension helmet with its small inconspicuous nose snubber.
CharlieJoiner played pro football for 18 years, longer than any other wide receiver in history at the time of his retirement.
Blessed with excellent speed and tantalizing moves, Joiner averaged 16.2 yards per catch and accounted for 12,146 yards and 65 touchdowns on his receptions.
Joiner played briefly on defense and the kickoff return team but soon became established as a premier pass catcher.
