Beloit, Wis., home to the world’s largest can of chili – it’s worth Googling – and the small division-III school of Beloit College, the place Oakland Raiders tight end Derek Carrier called home for a time.
Until now, you probably haven’t heard of the mighty Beloit Buccaneers – I certainly wasn’t familiar with their work – but that small school served as a stepping stone on Carrier’s path to the NFL, which has proved to be quite the journey thus far.
Carrier was once a wide receiver from Beloit College, setting multiple school records during his senior season.
