The Panthers are sorting out who is going to be the third wide receiver behind starters Steve Smith and Keyshawn Johnson, and it could come down to Drew Carter vs. Keary Colbert. Carter made large strides at the end of last season and continued to please the coaches in the recent minicamp. Colbert, who inexplicably disappeared last year after a promising rookie season, sat out with a leg injury. Colbert cannot afford to get too far behind.

I think this was put in Chris Carter thread by mistake...should be Drew.

Carter runs an All-Pro boot camp

By Brian Peterson
NFL Insider


Sitting in an airport on his way home from visiting family in Ohio, Cris Carter looked relaxed and refreshed. Dressed in a white T-shirt, plaid baggy shorts, and sandals, Carter had his feet propped up on a suitcase and his two children, Duron (10) and Monterae (7), seated next to him.

"I'm ready for retirement," Carter says. "But first I'm going to enjoy and savor every minute of this season."

If getting up at 8:30 the next morning for more than two hours of intense physical training in 100-degree temperatures and 90 percent humidity is Carter's idea of enjoyment, one can only wonder at his definition of torture.

For the past eight years, Carter has followed roughly the same brutal offseason training regimen. Five days a week from April until training camp, the eight-time Pro Bowl selection goes through a series of outdoor speed drills, plyometrics (special exercises to increase agility and quickness), and indoor strength training.

Carter's inspiration came from running backs Herschel Walker, who played with Carter in Minnesota in 1990 and 1991, and Roger Craig, who signed as a free agent with the Vikings in 1992 after a stellar career in San Francisco.

"My mindset really began to change when I played with Herschel Walker," Carter says. "I saw an athlete of his ability still working out this hard. 'Wow!' I thought to myself. That got me started.

"Then we got Roger Craig on our team in Minnesota. He always worked hard in practice. Then he started telling me about the offseason workout programs he and Jerry [Rice] were involved in out in California. And Jerry was always my benchmark as far as a player-his work ethic and what he could do in the game. He's the player I tried to emulate. Jerry is probably the hardest working athlete in all of sports."

Has it worked? Well, Carter entered 2001 with 1,020 receptions for 12,962 yards and 123 touchdowns, totals exceeded only by Rice.

Carter, who was reared in Middletown, Ohio, began his offseason program with a few Ohio State teammates, including Keith Byars, and aspiring collegians. In 1997, Carter moved his training camp closer to his offseason home in Boca Raton, Florida, where it attracts scores of athletes every year.

Cris Carter's FAST Program (which is endorsed, not owned, by Carter) operates year-round and has trained more than 45 NFL players, including Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper and wide receiver Randy Moss; 14 NBA players, including Raptors guard Vince Carter and Magic forward Tracy McGrady; and six Major League Baseball players, including Orioles first baseman Jeff Conine and Dodgers second baseman Mark Grudzielanek.

So why is Carter, a shoo-in for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, still doing this?

"There is a side of me that says, when I do look back after I retire, I know there won't be any regrets," he says. "There was nothing more I could do that would have made me a better player. I take good care of myself, and I work hard. This program helps me make sure that there was nothing more physically I could have done to play at a higher level."

Rookie playbook By GEOFF HOBSON
June 28, 2007
6 a.m.
Leon Hall, the Bengals� first pick who went to Michigan as one of San Diego�s top scholar-athletes, and Chinedum Ndukwe, their last selection who is a Notre Dame double major, are two of the NFL�s 255 drafted players that didn�t need it.
But after attending this week�s compulsory rookie symposium in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., they are glad they did. From the myriad of speakers, Ndukwe heard a Pro Bowler say he couldn�t afford to have another bad year and Hall found himself riveted to Cris Carter�s passion even though he�s another big-play Buckeye.
�He�s such a great speaker, so passionate,� said Hall, the Michigan cornerback who didn�t mind covering this Ohio State receiver. �He told us no matter what round we�re in, or who came in ahead of us, Walter Payton, or whatever, no matter what happens, leave the league better than you found it. That stuck with me.�
Carter, who caught more balls than anyone in the NFL but Jerry Rice, participated in one of several panel discussions that have become a staple of the 11th annual event. With commissioner Roger Goodell opening the seminar on Monday by bringing his high-profile Just Say No message to the rookies, the off-field conduct issue made the usually sleepy week a headline event.

Switching allegiances?

Former Ohio State and NFL receiver Cris Carter was on the Florida sideline Saturday, and if any pictures make their way back to Columbus, he might not be welcome there anymore.

Carter was wearing a white Florida golf shirt and a blue-and-orange Florida visor. As the Gators were walking off the field, Carter did the chomp, as well.

Carter - who's an assistant coach at Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, where he coached UF freshman safety Major Wright - refused to answer any questions.

Urban Meyer worked with Carter when the Gators coach was an Ohio State graduate assistant.
