I'm guilty of violating the headline. I've counted out Carter. Whenever I rank the Patriots wide receivers, I put him at the very, very end, behind the likes of Aaron Dobson, Devin Lucien, and Chris Harper.
Maybe I shouldn't.
ESPN's Mike Reiss has labeled Carter as a dark horse to watch out for this offseason as someone "who will make a surprise run at roster spots," and called him "a spark plug slot receiver."
Who is Carter?
Bernd broke down his history here, but I thought he was worth a deep dive of his own.
