==Professional career==
White was the 27th overall pick in the [[1980 NFL Draft]], selected in the first round by the [[1980 Cleveland Browns season|Cleveland Browns]]. After four disappointing seasons in Cleveland, where he rushed for a total of 942 yards and had a 3.4 yards per carry average, White was released before the start of the [[1985 Cleveland Browns season|1985]] season.  White later acknowledged that he struggled with [[cocaine]] addiction during this period.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/1997/weekly/catchingup/1103/index.html| title = Catching Up With Charles White | access-date = 2007-12-10 | work=CNN}}</ref>

After his release from the Browns in 1985, he reunited with his college [[Coach (sport)|coach]], [[John Robinson (football coach)|John Robinson]], who was then coaching the [[Los Angeles Rams]]. White played for the Rams for four seasons, [[1985 Los Angeles Rams season|1985]] to [[1988 Los Angeles Rams season|1988]]. In [[1987 Los Angeles Rams season|1987]], he rushed for a league-leading 1,387 yards and 11 [[touchdown]]s, which earned him a [[Pro Bowl]] selection and the [[NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award]].

White finished his NFL career with 3,075 rushing yards, and 23 rushing touchdowns, along with 114 [[Reception (American football)|receptions]], 860 yards, and one receiving touchdown.

==Post-playing career==
In 1993, White joined USC as running backs coach; he later worked as a computer consultant.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://athletes-celebrities.tseworld.com/sports/football/charles-white.php|title=Charles White|publisher= Premiere Athlete & Celebrity|access-date= September 6, 2012}}</ref>

In its third and fourth seasons, ''[[American Gladiators (1989 TV series)|American Gladiators]]'' held special "Pro Football Challenge of Champions" shows. White participated in and won both, each time coming from behind in the "Eliminator" thanks to slip-ups by his opponents.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.tv.com/shows/american-gladiators-1989/pro-football-challenge-of-champions-white-vs-villapiano-vs-kiick-vs-branch-vs-ham-vs-pruitt-247902/|title=American Gladiators|publisher= tv.com|access-date= September 6, 2012}}</ref> He also competed in sixth season's USC vs. [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|Notre Dame]] alumni special where he also won, giving him a 3-0 record on the show.

==Personal life and drug use==
During his years at USC, White struggled with cocaine and marijuana use.  In a 1987 [[Sports Illustrated]] article, he admitted to smoking marijuana daily at USC and snorted his first line of cocaine a few weeks before the [[1977 Rose Bowl]].  He met fellow USC student Judi McGovern and the two dated throughout their time at USC, eventually marrying and having a daughter.  However, White continued his cocaine use through college and on into his early NFL career with the Browns.  White checked into drug rehab in 1982 and was clean for three years.  Even so, the Browns cut him in 1985 and he was picked up on waivers by the [[Los Angeles Rams]], where he was reunited with [[John Robinson (American football coach)|John Robinson]], his former college coach at USC.

White soon had a short relapse into cocaine, but got clean again until one night in August 1987, where he and a friend did lines until White was arrested.  However, Robinson bailed him out of jail and agreed to keep him on the team if he stayed clean.  White responded with the best season of his career in the strike-affected 1987 season, running for 339 yards in the three "scab games" after the Rams traded [[Eric Dickerson]] —- and then running for 100 yards in five straight games afterwards.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.si.com/vault/1988/08/29/118271/a-visit-to-hell-charles-white-won-the-heisman-in-1979-and-was-the-nfls-leading-rusher-last-year-but-in-between-life-was-a-nightmare-for-him-and-his-wife-judi|title = A Visit to Hell}}</ref>

White and McGovern eventually divorced.  White sold his 1979 [[Heisman Trophy]] in 2000 to settle tax debts.  White had five children, three daughters and two sons.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://articles.latimes.com/2008/nov/17/sports/sp-crowe17|title = Archives|website = [[Los Angeles Times]]| date=17 November 2008 }}</ref>

A [[Los Angeles Times]] article on July 17, 2022, by [[Bill Plaschke]] describes White's struggles with [[dementia]] and how he was living in an [[Orange County, California]] [[assisted living facility]] as of 2022.  White could still recall his football days, but had issues with day-to-day functioning; the signs were that his dementia was caused by his career playing football.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/story/2022-07-17/usc-trojans-football-charles-white-dementia-heisman-trophy-winner|title = Why has USC forgotten Charles White?
