Re-Living ‘99: Kevin Carter, the ‘99 sack champion who played in the shadows

Re-living ‘99: A week-to-week look back on one of the greatest seasons in NFL history.

In some ways I feel like Kevin Carter played in the shadows. He had all the makings at one point of a pass rusher who wouldn’t be blocked out of Canton by any tackle and even today has a body of work that makes you wonder why he wouldn’t be enshrined in a few more places but Carter remains a mystery and at times I wonder if some people think they only imagined him.

Ask someone about Kevin Carter and they may ask if you’re talking about the photojournalist who died a year before the football player was drafted.
