🏈 Huge expectations for Duron Carter as Alabama reports for preseason

[BAMANEWSBOT]

The junior college transfer and son of former NFL star Cris Carter is expected to bring a boost to the Crimson Tide receiving corps.

There are visions dancing in the minds of Alabama fans everywhere of a fresh crop of football players prepared to check in for preseason practice.

To many, today's arrival probably ranks right up there with unwrapping crimson-and-white gifts.

Perhaps no new addition comes with more anticipation than Duron Carter, a transfer from Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College. Since his commitment last spring to sign with Alabama, he has been hyped with the potential to be the Crimson Tide's next big-game wide receiver.

The reputation spawns from his pedigree. His father is Cris Carter, who starred with the Minnesota Vikings and Ohio State.

Someone pass this along to Chris Black, preferably before tomorrow...

"Duron is a big-X receiver," Cris Carter said. "In that style of offense, there's certain ways you can get him the ball. That was advantageous from Duron's own personal standpoint. The way they train the quarterback, the route combinations are pro. They call them the same way the pros call them. That type of training is hard to turn down."

I wish I would have written down the names I've noticed over this summer. But, didn't...so, just going by what comes off the top of my head.

Jack Del Rio was one, Fred Taylor was another. We've talked about Barry Sanders. Jeff Fisher was another; he was there last summer. (his son accepted an invited walk-on offer at Auburn for last fall.)

My point is, you see a lot of successful people bringing their children to Tuscaloosa for Saban's summer camps. No need to ask why, CC just answered it in the comment shipley quoted.
