Keep monitoring. Kind of funny in that his dad works for ESPN.

AAAARRRRGGGH! My commish just sent out a league wide email basically announcing this guys eligibility on the waiver wire! DAMN!
I love this commish since he does an amazing job...but every time I'm trying to sneak a guy through, he puts on a parade for the guy! LOL! I have minimal FA $$s so I was hoping I could sneak him onto my roster. Now I'll certainly be out bid by some guy from a bottom feeder team who has no clue and is just bidding because he has money and the player is making a stir.

I don't know exactly how it works but I'm pretty positive he wouldn't be considered a rookie because he has already declared for the NFL draft before and he was never signed that year (which would have been his rookie year). I'm pretty sure the only reason he's available for pickup in leagues is because he did declare for the draft and he did try out for some teams in the past.

I assumed rookie meant first year player in the NFL. Baseball has players come up after a few years in the minors and are rookies. Why would the NFL be different? Why does it matter?

He could be. I may be wrong. I know for sure he wouldn't be treated like a rookie when it comes to the draft, etc. He can start working out with teams in a little over a week, but can't sign until February. But you're right, he might still technically be considered a rookie.

After watching the brief highlights that were posted in here, a good comp for him looks like it could be Justin Hunter. Nice speed, but he looks pretty weak though, like he's never lifted weights a day in his life.
If his head really is on straight, his NFL caliber training will begin on Dec 1 and he will have many months to work on his issues. On his jump balls, it doesn't look like he does a great job high pointing the ball. He makes nice catches over those CB's, but I don't think he'd be making those catches against NFL CB's unless he high points the ball better.
Also, what is his actual height? In the videos he doesn't look 6'5 to me. He's not THAT much taller than everybody else. On RW, it says he's 6'4. On his draft scout page he's 6'3. There's a pretty big difference between 6'3 and 6'5.

He didn't go to the actual combine, but to a regional combine:
He was invited to the NFL's Super Regional combine but was sick:

He'll be playing in the CFL East finals this weekend if you have access to any of the stations that will be playing it in the US

It's a very, very different type of game of football though...

I live in Toronto... I know about the CFL, but I never watch it. literally never sat thru a game.
I guess I could ask my old man.
Ill just hold for a bit and see what he does in the nfl... which is probably nothing

I'd probably hold. No one will give you anything significant, nor should they. Better to just hold the lotto ticket.

Yeah, I know.They do get a running start at the line.
I still don't see slow anywhere on the field when I watch him play.
I think he's fast enough for the NFL.
If he doesn't make the leap, it'll likely be for another reason.
Like for being a :whoosh:

either a raw prospect you like or a 3rd round pick, maybe.In a FF league where WRs are king, I'll be hanging onto the lottery ticket unless someone buys into the hype. Trading won't be open for us until after February so his value will either skyrocket or die about the same time we can trade.
The CBA defines a rookie as a person who has never before signed a player contract with an NFL club.My guess is that the tryout contracts he had in 2013 were enough to make last season his rookie year.

Source please. This is getting to be a big issue in a couple of leagues for me, whether or not he's actually a Rookie.

Not sure how that's scientifically possible. That's like saying a car will have the same time going 0-60 as it would 10-60.Soulfly3 said:

He can't work out for teams until early December, and can't sign a futures contract until February.

Good point, wasn't sure, didn't get to watch him much. For those who have seen him, is he the real deal?

He's a dart throw. Looks kind of like a faster Marques Colston IMO. Rangy and long strides. The key for him will be work ethic and landing spot. If a team with a good QB signs him, I'm in. But I don't expect that he's a superstar. Potentially a good WR2 that can be had VERY cheap.

It's only one game that I saw but I didn't see anything great from Carter. Maybe he can latch on as a backup in the NFL. The more impressive Montreal receiver was S.J. Green. He showed good hands and an ability to get separation. I did not see the latter from Carter.
Green was in Carter's position five years ago. Green signed a futures contract with the Jets in January 2010 and got cut in the spring.

Most of it. People wonder if he has the ability that his dad had since they have the same genes. They both hard rocky starts to their career due to off field issues. The hope is that Duron is getting on track now and maybe he has the chance to be great. The chances are definitely slim though.

Even if he signs with the Colts, I don't think he's immediately better than Hilton or Moncrief.

No but he gives them an upgrade even if he's the #3. Nicks will be gone. Wayne will be gone.
