OT: Carr shines at Pats camp

[BosCat]

OK only day 1, but headline on Boston Herald website: "Austin Carr makes a highlight catch at first day of Patriots camp"

I really hope he does well enough to make it on another team so I don't have to root even a little for Pats.

Here is link: Carr

Practice squad at the very least!

I wish I could spin the ball like that.

Don't sleep on Austin Carr's chances of making the Patriots regular squad!

Honestly, I think Austin Carr is simply a superior human being. As much as I love football, I wonder if he should be wasting his potential playing football. The guy is eloquent, a gifted musician, who knows what else, hell I even think he is handsome. He has shown by being a walk on at NU who ends up in the NFL that he is able to do anything he puts his mind to. He got into NU W.O. any football connection. He is brilliant in so many ways.

I hate to break it to you...but I'm pretty sure A.C. Either got married or engaged this past off-season.

I kept hoping my daughter would meet him when she was there.

My daughter had a crush on Jeff Budzien when she was a grad student there.......alas, no luck.....

Austin Carr has his work cut out for him, if he wants to make the Pats roster.

Apparently a depth chart put out in early pre-season by a Bill Belichek coached team means almost nothing, so don't read too much into the order of how players are listed. That said, there are a lot of veteran WRs on that team and AC's best bet is probably a year on the practice squad until Amendola is gone.

I have not been more confident about an NU player's pro prospects since I was sure John Shurna was headed for a second-round NBA draft slot.

(Actually, I'm considerably more confident that Carr will make the team. It seems to me that *reliability* more than otherworldly speed or strength is the key criteria for a spot on a Brady / Beichick offense. Carr is skillful and was open all the time, but his consistency is his most defining trait.)

I think they should keep Carr around just because of his history of transforming himself. He may not be near his potential yet and his history point to mastery and progress. He may be the most talented and intelligent person in the entire organization. His multiple intelligence scores must be through the roof.
