Was my favorite Vol as a kid...pre Manning who is 6 months older than me so didnt come in until I was much older...
Dale Carter is the best athlete we have had in my lifetime, on either side of the ball. Legitimately the fastest player on the field every time he suited up, even against fla, and everyone knew it. He would dance around on kick returns until he saw a seam...then he was gone. Gone. He was a 1st team all American at DB and 1st team all American kick returner. Led the country with 30yds per return as a senior? Could have been Jr. Year. He would bait opposing QBs into throwing his way by giving the receiver a step or 2...then close the gap effortlessly and grab the pick. A la Deion Sanders. Without a doubt he is the best DB I have ever seen in UT orange...and I was and am a huge EB fan. Like the previous poster said, he was listed at 185 but I am not sure he wasnt really about 175...but he hit like a truck. "POP!!!" You could hear it in the cheap seats when he laid the wood on a WR...I saw him return a kick for a TD at home when I was 5 or 6 years old and he was my favorite VOL from that day on....he would jump up and down on the sidelines talking trash before the kickoff...he knew that he could back it up. I don't know if they timed electronically back then, but he was a legit 4.3 guy in the 40...and probably a little over 10 in the 100. World class track speed and moves like Cordarelle...
Yall younger VOLS check out some tape on Dale Carter as a Vol...he is the only Dback in the last 40 years we have had more acclaimed than EB...then with KC he was a perennial Pro Bowler at corner, only Deion got more attention than him at corner. It is crazy that the Chiefs have had both of the best DBs to come from UT in the last 40 years. Love both those guys.
