Lions rookie cornerback Alex Carter stuttered throughout childhood. He explains how it started and offers advice on how to overcome it.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Alex Carter sat down the night before one of the most nervous moments of his life and started to write.
He thought of his message to deliver. A senior in high school, the now-rookie Detroit Lions cornerback would speak in front of a room full of his peers, coaches and parents to accept an award at the Washington Post's annual All-Met awards luncheon.
This was more intimidating than anything he had done on the football field or in the classroom with good reason.
