Where is duron carter going

The school boasts itself as the premiere destination for student-athletes seeking to excel at greater heights post-high school graduation. The program develops and trains elite athletes to help reach their potential on the field as well as in the classroom.

Overall, Carter played 91 career CFL games, making catches for 4, yards with 30 touchdowns. He was named a league all-star twice, once with the Montreal Alouettes and the other time in Saskatchewan Roughriders green and white. Yes, there he is. Duron contorts his body going for the football much the way Cris did. They compete for contested balls with similar styles. Both have hands that look big enough to palm an exercise ball. Melanie, who has been married to Cris for 25 years, said she sees the same passion for the game in each man.

Both have made the kind of catches that light up Twitter. And both have dropped the ball. Duron declared for the draft, but he was not selected. Nor did he receive a free-agent offer. He was invited to try out at spring camps for the Vikings and Saints but was not invited to stick around.

A source with one of the teams then said Carter goofed off and "acted like he had made the team," instead of doing all he could to impress. I didn't capture my opportunity. Those beginnings didn't matter when Duron landed in Quebec that spring, facing one last chance.

He didn't know a thing about the Canadian Football League, except that it was his only hope. Getting back to playing football games after two years off would be important.

Proving he could function in a team environment and act responsibly would be critical. He was on the Montreal Alouettes' practice squad for the first nine games that season. Befitting a stranger in a strange land, Carter did not immediately fit in. Alouettes general manager Jim Popp said Carter annoyed teammates and coaches at times in film sessions. A coach would show a play, and if Carter had an issue with it, he would bring it up three or four plays later. The meeting would be stalled and extended.

Duron, like his father, is a thinker who is unafraid to question, or even argue. I've learned throughout the years to shut up at times. Eventually, Carter got with the flow in the meeting room and on the field. In Montreal's last nine games, he led the league with an average of It helped that wide receiver S.

Green, who is considered the ideal CFL professional, became a role model and friend. Shoulder and ankle injuries limited Carter at the start of the season. Popp said Carter wasn't himself until about the halfway point. Then he took off, and he ended up with more receiving yards than all but two other players in the league. Alouettes college scouting director Russ Lande said Carter was the best wide receiver in the league by far.

Carter showed rare hands. He also showed some of his mother's speed. She said she ran the yard dash in Carter departed Canada having made positive impressions on Popp and others who worked with him. Popp said Carter "definitely has matured since he has been with us" and has shown a strong work ethic, a keen understanding of the playbook, a competitive demeanor in practice and a willingness to be coached.

Carter also dispelled the assumption, borne of his itinerant college career, that he is not very smart. The Alouettes administer the Wonderlic to all of their players. Popp declined to give Carter's precise score, but he said it was higher than Still, there are concerns. Carter publicly predicted victory and was mic'd up for the game by TSN for a documentary called "Road to the Grey Cup.

Coaches told him he would be a focal point of the game plan, but midway through the second quarter, he still had not seen a pass come his way. He became frustrated and drew two yard penalties, one after punching an opponent and the other after he was pointing at an opponent and his hand was bumped into an official's face. He wound up with three catches for 25 yards in a loss. Breaux handled Carter at the line of scrimmage pretty well, which reinforced the idea Carter needs to muscle up.

During a recent visit to an NFL team, Carter checked in at nearly 6'4" and pounds. His father believes he has the frame to weigh up to Frankel said 15 teams wanted Carter to visit them, but he is not likely to take that many trips. It's no surprise, then, that he is drawing a ton of interest from the NFL. After making several visits with NFL teams, Carter narrowed his list down to three and ultimately agreed to terms with the Colts on Monday.

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports adds that the two sides have an agreement in place, but a deal likely won't be made official until February. That means the Colts — seen as the frontrunner to land Carter — could strike a deal and sign him without having to wait until Feb.

Releasing him from his CFL deal would make Carter a free agent. The Colts hosted Carter for a visit earlier this month and continue to have dialogue with him, but it's still too early to predict where Carter will ultimately wind up.

He spent the entire season on the practice roster before returning to the CFL the following season. The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter was an uber-talented player and will look to pass down his knowledge of the game to the next emerging stars at North Palm Beach Prep.
