TMI: Do you remember Duron Carter’s 1st CFL TD?

Duron Carter remembers his first CFL touchdown like it happened yesterday.

It was back in 2013, his rookie season, when Carter was still a member of the Montreal Alouettes. It was at the same point in the season as we are right now, Week 11, and the Alouettes were taking on the Toronto Argonauts.

Tanner Marsh tossed a pass to Carter who out-ran Pat Watkins and dove into the end zone for the score.

Let’s all relive the moment together, shall we?

 

Now, as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Carter is still finding ways make big plays.

We all remember his one-handed catch a few weeks ago, right? Or any one of those ridiculous catches made in tight coverage?

Maybe the magic comes from the Snickers he eats before every game or perhaps it’s because he only wears one pair of socks. Whatever it is, keep doing what you do, Duron, because we’re loving every minute of it.

Get to know a little bit more about Carter off the field in this edition of TMI!


Kristina Costabile: Tell me something fans might not know about you.

Duron Carter: I believe that the Earth is flat.

KC: What do you like to do in your free time?

DC: I play a lot of video games and I read about conspiracy theories.

KC: What is on your pre-game play list?

DC: Anything Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne is my favourite rapper.

KC: If you were stranded on a deserted island, which one of your teammates would you bring with you?

DC: It would probably be Peter Dyakowski. He’s our smartest guy. He knows everything. You could ask him any question and he knows the answer. He would definitely be the most valuable guy if I was stranded on an island. (Editors note: Henoc Muamba also said he’d bring Pete. Popular guy!)

KC: What are three things you’d bring with you to that island?

DC: I would bring a fidget spinner, a knife and a mosquito net. I hate bugs.

KC: If you weren’t a football player, what would you be doing?

DC: I’d be an actor. I want to be in Hollywood and be the next Denzel Washington.

 

KC: What is your favourte football memory?

DC: My favourite football memory is definitely my first CFL touchdown. It was my first touchdown in four years. My first CFL touchdown as a rookie was my first touchdown in a while and that’s probably my most memorable experience. It was against Toronto and the cornerback was Pat Watkins. I remember it like it was yesterday!

KC: Do you have any superstitions or routines you have to do before a game?

DC: I always eat a Snickers. I can only have on one pair of socks. I have to cut a bunch of socks to make them look how I want to because I can only have one on my feet. It’s weird. It just feels weird.

KC: What is your guilty pleasure song?

DC: That Rihanna song! Love on the Brain!

KC: What show are you binge watching right now?

DC: I binge watch everything! What I’m  watching right now is Game of Thrones. I’ve been letting Game of Thrones go for a few weeks so I’m going to finish Game of Thrones today, you just reminded me. (Editors note: You’re welcome., Duron.)
