“He’s a coach’s dream,” Chargers coach Brandon Staley says of the well-traveled wide receiver, who has shown that he’s more than just a return specialist.
COSTA MESA — DeAndre Carter’s collection of NFL jerseys grew by one when the Chargers signed him as a free-agent kick- and punt-return specialist during the offseason. His story is more about perseverance, dedication and good, old-fashioned grit than sports collectibles, however.
Carter’s debut with the Chargers on Sunday marked his 61st game over six seasons in the NFL, pressed into action Sunday when wide receiver Keenan Allen suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of a 24-19 victory over the Raiders. Carter caught three passes for 64 yards and one touchdown. “He’s a coach’s dream,” Chargers coach Brandon Staley said of Carter. “He’s just such a hard worker. He’s so unselfish. He does so many different things. He works extremely hard no matter what he’s doing throughout the day, whether he’s in a meeting, a lift or a walk-through.Plenty of teams had their chance with the 5-foot-8 Carter. It’s been a long and winding road to the Chargers.
