description: "Charles \"Charlie\" Taylor Hennigan Sr., also known as Charley Hennigan, was an American professional football player who was a wide receiver with the former Houston Oilers of the American Football League (AFL). He attended Louisiana State University (LSU) for one year where he was on the track and field team, and then transferred to Northwestern State College where he was both on the track team and played college football for the Northwestern State Demons. Hennigan was a five-time AFL All-Star and was a three-time first-team All-AFL selection. He was named to the AFL All-Time Team's second team. Hennigan's career was cut short by a knee injury in 1966 after seven seasons, but he was in the top ten all-time in receptions and receiving yards when his career ended."
