Former University of Miami safety Jamal Carter opened his email invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine “at 6 p.m. Jan. 31.’’
Carter screamed as his heart raced and he began “jumping up and down all through the house’’ with his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, their 3-year-old son Jamal, Jr., “looked around like, ‘What’s going on?’
“Then I called my mother.’’
Carter is one of nine Miami Hurricanes to get the coveted invitation, and be assured that every one of them, whether a first-round NFL Draft prospect such as tight end David Njoku or later-round standout such as Carter, was ecstatic.
