Just think this kid has a HUGE uphill battle. Best case scenario IMO, is the practice squad. I think Edelman, Hogan, Amendola, Mitchell, Martin & Washington would be the front runners. I think it would be tough for him to beat out Dobson (if Dobson is healthy and productive). So Dobson is really fighting Martin & Washington for the 6th slot. I even think Harper is ahead of Carter (whom the Pats cut once before)
So I'd think Carter is fighting Lucien for the 8th slot. So many things would have to fall in place for Carter to even get a sniff at the 53 man roster. A GREAT camp, Edelman and Amendola starting the season on the PUP list, bad camps and/or injuries to his competition. All that would have to happen.
His chances really declined after the signings of Hogan and Washington and the drafting of Mitchell & Lucien. I like the kid's measurables, pretty damned explosive, but I think he has no shot to make this team. All 7 guys ahead of him are just better players/prospects.
I think a lot of people are sleeping on Martin, I really like what he brings to the table. Reminds me of a bigger Deion Branch. Let's see what he does with a year in the Pat's offense.
