Butch Davis praises Bruce Carter as 'rare linebacker'

Posted May 4, 2011
Butch Davis: "Bruce [Carter] is one of those unique rare linebackers that you never have to take out of the game. He can play Sam, he can play Mike, He can play Will and he can play in all of your nickel packages. Because he has great speed and great ability to cover. He can blitz and he can come off the edge. He is probably the career leader in blocked kicks at Carolina. " (Dallas Morning News)
