Duron Carter

Duron Christopher Carter (born March 22, 1991) is an American professional Canadian football defensive back who is currently a free agent.

He was initially a member of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL) as a wide receiver and has also played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Toronto Argonauts, BC Lions, Edmonton Elks.

He is the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame player Cris Carter, and played college football at Ohio State and Coffeyville Community College, but off-field issues and academic ineligibility prevented him continuing to play in Division I football.

He also attended Alabama and Florida Atlantic but did not play in a game for either school.

Playing as a wide receiver for Coach George Smith, he led the St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders to back-to-back Florida state 5A titles in 2007 and 2008.

The Raiders 15-0 record earned them No. 1 ranking in America among prep teams.

He recorded 39 receptions for 739 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior, and was selected to play in the Under Armour All-America Game.

Carter earned first-team All-Broward honors and was an Orlando Sentinel All-Southern.

Carter was declared academically ineligible for Ohio State's appearance in the Rose Bowl game following the 2009 regular season, an issue that also kept him out of spring practice in 2010.

He left the Buckeyes in June of that year and enrolled at a junior college in Kansas.

Carter spent his sophomore season at Coffeyville Community College in Coffeyville, Kansas, where he proved to be a playmaker in the receiving corps.

He recorded 44 receptions for 690 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2010, helping guide the Red Ravens to a 6-5 record and a berth in the Graphic Edge Bowl.

Carter transferred into the Alabama program in the summer of 2011.

After transferring to Alabama in April 2011 from the JUCO ranks, eligibility issues again involving academics kept him from practicing with the Tide until late August.

It was announced in late September 2011 that Carter would not play that season and would instead take a redshirt.

He was suspended for spring practice that year, which prompted him to take his leave of Tuscaloosa and officially transfer to FAU.

Carter transferred to Florida Atlantic (FAU) for his senior season in 2012, but his petition to play immediately was turned down.

He entered the 2013 NFL Draft but was not selected.

Carter had a tryout for the Minnesota Vikings in 2013, but was not offered a contract.

He then played two years with the Alouettes before signing with the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL).

Carter attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he played football, basketball, and ran track.

After going undrafted in 2013, Carter had a tryout for the Minnesota Vikings but was not offered a contract.

On June 23, 2013, Carter signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League and joined the practice roster.

On August 24, 2013, he made his CFL debut against the BC Lions.

Carter played in 12 of the 18 regular season games with the Als and 1 playoff game in the 2013 CFL season.

He had an outstanding first season in the CFL, amassing 909 yards (over 75 yards per game) and 5 touchdowns.

His second season in the CFL would prove to be equally as impressive as his first.

Carter appeared in 15 of the 18 regular season games, as well as 2 playoff games.

He finished the season with 1,030 receiving yards on 75 catches, with 7 touchdowns.

Carter also returned a missed field goal 123 yards for a touchdown.

However, once Carter was eligible for the NFL Draft in 2014 his quarterback (Cayden Cochran) tweeted the following:

"The team that drafts Duron Carter will get the most lazy, whiny & non-work ethic player the nfl has ever seen. I played w/him. Horrible person & will be a complete cancer to any team on the board."

In the 2014 playoffs, he totaled 5 receptions for 43 yards with a touchdown during two games.

During a loss to Hamilton in the East Final, Carter ended up melting down, receiving a pair of penalties for punching an opposing player and making contact with an official.

While at St. Thomas, Carter was teammates with Phillip Dorsett, who would become his Indianapolis Colts teammate in 2015.

He was regarded as a four-star prospect by Rivals.com and was ranked as the No. 11 wide receiver in the country.

He was also ranked No. 90 in the Rivals 100 Super Prep Florida Top 20.

As a true freshman at Ohio State, Carter played in 12 games, and was sixth on the team with 13 receptions for 178 yards (13.5 yards per catch).

Like his father, he caught a touchdown as an OSU freshman with a five-yard grab against Indiana in the fifth game of the season.

He also returned two punts for 24 yards with a long of 20 yards and made one tackle on special teams.
