The younger Carter has been invited to tryout at the Minnesota Vikings' rookie camp as an undrafted free agent, according to his agent.
However, he also has an invitation to try out at the Baltimore Ravens' rookie camp, but hasn't decided which invitation to accept.
These are good opportunities for a player with tremendous talent but a lot of baggage weighing him down.
Carter was dismissed from the Ohio State and Alabama programs for academic (OSU) and unspecified (Alabama) reasons. He played one season at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College and spent last season practicing with Florida Atlantic. Carter could not obtain a waiver to play for FAU.
Duron and Cris both told USA TODAY Sports last week the experiences over the past few years have humbled Duron, whose work ethic has been questioned in the past by teammates and coaches.
"I know there aren't a lot of better receivers than him in this draft. That's not a guess; I know. I know wide receivers," Cris said last week. "Yes, it might take him some time. I just believe in pro football, it's all football. You get millions of reps. And what's the worst-case scenario? Maybe it takes him 16 months.
"But when you see his talent, you'll be like, 'He's a pro."
