Highlight Time – Chris Carter Anyone?

As an English major at Ohio State, I had a number of classes in Denney Hall. During one spring quarter, I can remember almost daily passing this really tall guy with a rather odd expression. His head sort of towered above the rest of the students in the crowded hallway and I would look at him and think…how do I know that guy? It wasn’t until I had passed him that I would realize that it was Chris Carter. This happened about once a week and every time, I wouldn’t realize who it was until he had passed by.

Regardless, there weren’t many receivers like Chris Carter. If he went up for the ball, odds were, he was coming down with it. It didn’t matter how many defenders were on him or how bad they were wrapped around his arms. It was like he walked on air and he always seemed to be about a foot above everyone else. Add to that a hang time like Michael Jordan and you’ve got the makings of some classic highlights.

So I give you:

You’ve got to love some of the commentary by Carter’s former team mates. Especially Chris Spielman expressing his concern for Carter’s future.
