ESPN wanted to highlight the return of Jamaal Charles onto the field on Monday Night and used this graphic to highlight him:

There is just one little issue with that graphic. That is not Jamaal Charles. That actually is former Chiefs player, current Houston Texans player Kendrick Lewis.

That is just a little awkward. They both have dreads. They both are black…. but… not the right person.

Couldn’t the editor or the creator of the photo at least look at th enumber that is on the jersey when he selected the image? I know it is a bit cut off, but I am sure there was a full size image at one point and they just cropped out the number.

Here is Charles.

Close… but FAIL.
