Malone was born in Hillsboro, Texas, and graduated from Dallas's Terrill School in 1929.
Charley (or Charlie Malone) played football for four years at Texas A&M, 1929–1932, and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He played professional football for the Boston/Washington Redskins for 8 years (1934–42) as well as the pre-NFL, St. Louis Gunners.
In an era in which each NFL team's roster was capped at 33 players, Malone played offensive and defensive end for the Redskins. As a wide receiver, Malone caught most of his passes from fellow Texan Sammy Baugh. Malone led the NFL in receiving in 1935 and finished 5 NFL seasons among the top 10 in receptions. He was selected to play in the NFL Pro Bowl in 1942. His teams twice won the NFL championship (1937 and 1942).[1]
