The agent for CFL wide receiver Duron Carter is talking with the Minnesota Vikings, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Cleveland Browns to try to work out a deal according to Ben Goessling of ESPN.
Carter could be one of the feel-good stories of 2015 and beyond. The son of Hall-of-Fame wideout Cris Carter was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and signing with Ohio State but attitude problems and off-the-field shenanigans derailed his college career and nearly destroyed his life. He has since gotten his head on straight from all indications and has been a massive star in Canada the past two years. Carter conducted a whirlwind workout tour for a variety of teams earlier this month and will have his choice of lucrative deals. At 6'5'' and turning 24 in March, he will likely get a big signing bonus on a reserve/futures deal and has the talent and size to make a major impact in the NFL.
Longtime fans would be particularly thrilled to see him wearing the same Vikings purple as his dad.
