“My dream since childhood has been to play in the NFL and without my mother this would not be possible. I am beyond blessed to have her in my corner.<\/p>\n

With all that said, I would like to announce that I am declaring for the NFL Draft. While I am excited for the next chapter. I WILL ALWAYS BE A DAWG!”<\/p>\n

Carter grappled with a nagging ankle injury that limited his play for most of the first half of the season. He suffered a knee injury in October that caused to miss two games.<\/p>\n
