Fashion, football and why he's #ForTheH | Get to know this Roughnecks fan fave
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- ABC13 gets candid with XFL Roughnecks player Charles James.
James became a fan favorite when the Houston Texans appeared on HBO's "Hard Knocks" in 2015 with his big personality, underdog story, colorful socks, and his catchphrase, "Chicken and shrimp!"
He was cut by the team, but he said he still looks back at that time and appreciates the opportunity he was given.
Now, he's back in Houston playing with the city's newest football team - the Roughnecks.
We took James to Norton Ditto to talk about fashion and his sock game, life and why he loves H-Town.
James said he considers himself a "mama's boy." She's his biggest fan. And he doesn't think of himself as a celebrity. He's humble and grateful. And appreciates all the fan love.
