Former Buckeye Cris Carter on hot seat for “fall guy” remarks to NFL rookies

A video of former Buckeye and NFL star Cris Carter has gained a lot of popularity in the past few days. At the 2014 NFL Rookie Symposium, Carter told players that each NFL player needs a “fall guy” to take blame for punishment and off-the-field issues.

On stage with Warren Sapp, the two told a group of rookies how to make sure they have someone in their entourage that will take the heat if trouble comes up.

It’s a short string of comments, and ones that to me come off as being done jokingly.
