Charlie Fulton

College career Fulton was a member of the Tennessee Volunteers of the University of Tennessee from 1964 to 1967 and a three-year letterman from 1965 to 1967. He opened the 1965 season as the team's starting quarterback. As a senior in 1967, Fulton recorded 69 rushing attempts for 328 yards and two touchdowns, four catches for 20 yards, and 12 completions on 19 passing attempts (63.2%) for 177 yards. The 1967 Volunteers were recognized as national champions by Litkenhous.

Professional career Fulton was selected by the Boston Patriots in the 16th round, with the 413th overall pick, of the 1968 NFL/AFL draft but did not sign with them.

He instead signed with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League in 1968. On September 13, 1968, the Edmonton Journal reported that Fulton had "taken a stranglehold" on the starting quarterback job after leading the Eskimos to two upset victories against the Calgary Stampeders and Ottawa Rough Riders in his first two professional starts. Overall, he played in all 16 games for the Eskimos during the 1968 season, completing 52 of 119 passes (43.7%) for 729 yards, one touchdown, and seven interceptions while rushing 66 times for 297 yards and two touchdowns. The Eskimos finished the season with an 8–7–1 record and lost in the Western semifinal to the Calgary Stampeders. Fulton appeared in 14 games during the 1969 season, totaling 47 completions on 104 passing attempts (45.2%) for 611 yards, one touchdown, and 12 interceptions, 25 carries for 151 yards, three receptions for 22 yards, and two lost fumbles. He also spent time at defensive back in 1969. He was released on July 27, 1970.
