Walker grew up in the lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, where he lived until Hurricane Katrina devastated the city in 2005. Walker bounced between a few states after that, eventually moving back to NOLA and, finally, to the Dallas area, where he attended South Garland High School.

quote:

Ian Rapoport, NFL.com: Oklahoma defensive tackle Charles Walker has battled depression his entire life. He just didn't know it until he left school and declared for the NFL Draft. This is according to letters from Walker and his doctor, Ashley Benjamin, MD, recently sent to teams. Benjamin wrote, 'based on my military, coaching, and sport psychiatry backgrounds, I believe that Mr. Walker's depression is currently in full remission and is not a limitation for NFL-level competition.'"
