Cris Carter Biography

If you caught Cris Carter’s career on the NFL gridiron you know that all he did was catch touchdowns.  A fourth round pick of the Eagles in the 1987 NFL Supplemental Draft, Carter spent the majority of his 16-year career with the Minnesota Vikings, retiring in 2002 as the Vikings all-time leader in almost every receiving category. Currently he ranks 2nd all-time in career touchdowns and 3rd in career receptions, and is the only player in history to catch 120 or more passes in a season twice. 

As one of the most prolific players in NFL history, Carter’s voice lends credibility to many of today’s top sports stories.  Since his retirement, he has worked as an analyst on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown, as well as HBO’s Inside the NFL. In 2013, Carter was honored with induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, making him the only player drafted in the Supplemental Draft to ever be voted to the Hall.
