Charles Anderson Scales (January 11, 1938 – June 18, 2023) was an American professional football player who played as a running back for seven seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, and Atlanta Falcons.
A Pittsburgh native, Scales played his first two NFL seasons with the Steelers, signing with the team as a free agent.
That, plus the fact that the Steelers had selected fullback Bob Ferguson in the first round of the 1962 NFL draft, thus making Scales expendable, prompted the trade.
Scales was traded to the expansion Atlanta Falcons on August 23, 1966, for a draft choice.
He scored two touchdowns against Atlanta in an exhibition game just a few days prior to the trade.
