Why Northwestern WR Austin Carr should be B1G person of the year

Each of our Big Ten writers was asked to pick a Big Ten football "person of the year" for the 2016 season. Today on the Big Ten blog, each writer will lay out the case for his choice.

The Big Ten's best wide receiver this season began his college football career on the injury list after he cut himself with a butter knife while hurriedly trying to slice off some athletic wrap after practice. Austin Carr was understandably upset with himself. After all, this laceration threatened to take away his ability to play piano.
