INDIANAPOLIS -- Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan was training for the NFL combine earlier this month when he had an unexpected visitor show up in Westlake Village, California.
Hogan has been friends with Detroit Lions cornerback Alex Carter for years. The two are very close, sharing more than football in common. But Carter hasn’t played football for a year, spending last season on injured reserve in Detroit. So Hogan’s old friend picked up some work training with Hogan.
What Hogan saw was a cornerback motivated by last season’s football absence.
“Oh, he’s going to be better than the last time you guys saw him,” Hogan said at the combine.
