Charlie had a remarkable career at Eastern Michigan University, owning almost every passing record. He was a local favorite when he was drafted by the Detroit Lions (over Brian Griese) in the second round of the 1998 NFL Draft. He was the Lions' starter through most of the 1998-2001 seasons, and many people believed that after poor performances by the Lions' former quarterback, Scott Mitchell, Batch would bring the Lions back to higher rank. By the end of the 2001 season, he had passed for over 9,000 yards, reaching 6th on the Lions' all-time list.

Charity
Charlie Batch will be presented with the first Jerome Bettis Award for Humanity and Community Service. This annual award is presented to a Pittsburgh individual who demonstrates the image of the award title. Batch was chosen because of his commitment to his hometown of Homestead, PA by bringing to the area programs for the children through his Best of the Batch Foundation and upgrading basketball courts and football fields for the kids to use. Charlie Batch is very talented, and at the same time, very charitable. Over 5 years ago, Charlie had to endure the tragedy of his sisters death due to a shooting. This is one of many reasons that Charlie doesn't want the youth of the U.S. to resort to crime and violence. NAM 2006.
