A former Clemson defender came up with his first career NFL interception on Sunday in Week 16 of the NFL season.
Former Tiger linebacker Barrett Carter, now in his rookie campaign with the Cincinnati Bengals, picked off former Texas quarterback and current Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers during the Bengals’ eventual 45-21 victory over the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Carter’s interception came with 9:25 left in the third quarter when Ewers’ pass over the middle was deflected around midfield, and Carter returned the interception 16 yards to the Dolphins 35-yard line, setting up a Bengals touchdown two plays later that gave them a 31-14 lead.
