Charlie Frye, Oakland Raiders (Quarterback)*

Frye was selected in the third round (67th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Browns. His first NFL start came against the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 13. He passed for 226 yards, with two touchdowns, both to fellow rookie Braylon Edwards, and set a Browns rookie record for a single game with a 136.7 passer rating. Frye started the final five games of the 2005 season for the Browns, compiling a record of 2-3 as a starter.

Frye was cheered on during Browns games by "Charlie's Fryes", a pair of fans who wore french-fry suits in honor of him. Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic declared Friday, November 5th, 2004 "Frye-day" in honor of his #5 jersey. He wears a Superman t-shirt under his uniform during games. Frye is ambidextrous, he throws right-handed and writes left-handed. In 2005, he was featured in an Ohio McDonalds commercial along with Braylon Edwards. He is active in community service. Frye was an education major and a Dean's List student at The University of Akron.

Frye was named the starting quarterback of the Browns for the 2006 NFL season. The Browns hoped that Frye could follow in the footsteps of other MAC QBs like Chad Pennington, Byron Leftwich and Ben Roethlisberger. Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan compared Frye to a young Brett Favre. Frye struggled the remainder of the season after being named the starter.

After a battle in the preseason with Derek Anderson and rookie Brady Quinn, Frye won the starting quarterback job for the 2007 season. In the first game against the Pittsburgh Steelers however, Frye was benched after struggling in the first few minutes. Derek Anderson replaced him for the remainder of the game. Anderson remained the starter for the rest of the year and compiled Pro Bowl worthy stats.

On September 11, 2007, Frye was traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth-round draft pick, the first time a team has traded its starting quarterback during the NFL season in NFL history. He was the Seahawks' third string quarterback, behind Matt Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace. Frye made his first start of the 2008 season starting against the Green Bay Packers, it was also his only start with the Seahawks.

An unrestricted free agent following the 2008 season, Frye signed with the Oakland Raiders on June 8, 2009.
