Grant joined the 2002 NFL Draft and was selected by the New Orleans Saints as the 25th pick overall. He recorded the most sacks for a Saints rookie, and continued to perform well during the season. He was given a six year extension, and so his net worth increased significantly. He continued to improve in the next few years, but had a subpar season in 2005. He bounced back the following season but was derailed in 2007 as he had to undergo surgery for a torn ligament in his left ankle, and his statistics faltered as a result. He then returned after missing a few games but was suspended in 2009 for testing positive to a diuretic, which can be used to mask steroid use. In 2010, he was in the injured reserves for the playoffs due to a torn triceps muscle. The Saints would win the Super Bowl that year and he still got a ring, but he was then released by the team.
Charles briefly appeared in the United Football League as part of the Omaha Nighthawks, but then returned to the NFL, signing a two year contract with the Miami Dolphins, but was cut after just a few months. He then signed with the Omaha Nighthawks, but left the team again to sign with the Chicago Bears, but…he was released after only a few weeks, and retired. He subsequently volunteered to assist the team of Bowie University, Maryland, but was fired after apparently assaulting a student player.
For his personal life, his marital status is unknown – there is no mention of marriage or partners in the media, It is known that Grant was indicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
