Carter was released by the Eagles despite being a star player, and when asked by reporters why, Eagle coach Buddy Ryan gave this legendary explanation – “All he does is catch touchdowns!” Carter went on to star in Minnesota, and for his career amassed 1,101 receptions and scored 130 TDs. He was an eight time Pro Bowler and was named to the NFL All Decade team for the 1990s.  Today, Carter works on various football shows as an analyst, including HBO’s Inside The NFL and ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown and Sunday NFL Countdown.
