Austin Carr, Denver Broncos 2017 NFL Draft target?

The Denver Broncos have a need for a third option in the passing game at wide receiver, and Northwestern Wildcats star receiver Austin Carr is unquestionably a candidate to be selected by John Elway and his new coaching staff.

Carr is an impressive talent, not only on the football field but off of it. A very talented musician, Carr’s career at Northwestern began as a walk-on and while he was wrapping his hand with some tape, he tried cutting the tape with a butter knife and ended up pretty badly cutting his finger.

At the time, Carr made the decision to have surgery that put him out for two months and preserve the long-term health of his finger as opposed to trying to impress the Northwestern coaching staff by gutting it out and playing injured.
