When he dipped his toe in the NFL waters after a breakout junior season, Leonte Carroo was advised to return to Rutgers football and improve his route-running.
Carroo listened on both fronts but has taken it a step further in the last month of his NFL Draft training at IMG Academy. He is under the wing of one of the greatest route-runners of all time in Henry Ellard, whose 13,777 career receiving yards rank No. 13 in NFL history.
Rutgers’ all-time leader with 29 touchdown catches will put his route-running and other skills on display Feb. 27 at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
