Leonte Carroo, former Rutgers star, scores 1st NFL TD as game-winner for Miami Dolphins

It took longer than you might expect, but former Rutgers star Leonte Carroo scored his first career NFL touchdown Sunday to help the Miami Dolphins to a sixth straight victory.

The rookie wide receiver made a 15-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter after taking the place of DeVante Parker, who was injured trying to make an acrobatic catch.

"It's a great feeling," Carroo told SB Nation Radio afterward. "Especially to get the win as well."

Carroo made two catches for 14 yards in the season-opener but then disappeared from the offense, with only two targets and no receptions over the next nine games.
