Duron Carter, son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter, probably caught some NFL teams’ attention Thursday night, although not for the most flattering reason.
Carter, a receiver who plays for the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes, reeled in a touchdown catch in the third quarter of his team’s game against the Ottawa Redblacks. It was a nice grab, as he fought off some tight coverage and withstood a crushing blow, but his antics after the play were questionable.
The 25-year-old celebrated his TD by stomping over to the Ottawa sideline, at which point he knocked over an opposing coach. A little brawl then ensued as Redblacks players rushed to their coach’s defense. Carter was ejected.
Carter went undrafted in 2013 after a tumultuous college career. He eventually signed with the Indianapolis Colts but never appeared in game before becoming a free agent and signing with the Alouettes in January.
Perhaps Carter someday will return to the NFL. But incidents like Thursday’s won’t help.
