Title: BR: Duron Carter of Alabama Takes Similar Journey to Father Cris Carter

Bleacher Report has a good article on Duron Carter. They talk about him being big and strong like Julio but he does not have Julio's speed. I think Duron will be able to step right in and help us at wide receiver.

Quote
With Alabama having lost big receiver Julio Jones to the NFL, Carter has a role tailor-made for him with the Crimson Tide.

Nobody is expecting Duron Carter to be Julio Jones. Jones was the total package: big, strong, committed, good hands and blazing speed. Carter is nearly as big as Julio but lacks his breakaway speed.

Still, Julio's value as a receiver had more to do with his ability to make tough catches in traffic and get extra yards. Duron Carter can do that.

On film he looks amazingly similar to the former Alabama receiver, who is now with the Atlanta Falcons.

He doesn't have to be JJ, he needs to Duron Carter. he needs to be the 3rd down guy that we go to for more ball and down control. He only has to be seen as a man to be double teamed and it will help us greatly. I think he will be a great help to our offense. He has the coaches now to help him be greater. RTR!

   ^ I agree. everyone keeps saying "Well ya don't have Julio this year..." Yeah, well neither does any other NCAA team!
