Austin Carr
Carr was born on Christmas day in Santa Monica, California. As a senior in high school, he had 1,481 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns as well as 844 receiving yards and 11 TD receptions. All that production made him first-team All-Solano County Athletic Conference honors and team Most Valuable Player. He left Benicia's High School as their all-time rushing and scoring leader. He went on to Northwestern where he majored in philosophy. He played in 36 career games at Northwestern and totaled 113 receptions for 1,649 yards and 14 touchdowns. He set a single-season school record as a senior with 1,247 receiving yards. finished tied for second with 90 receptions. He was named Richter-Howard Big Ten Receiver of the Year and also set a school record with a touchdown reception in six straight games. Before he completed his education he received his bachelor's degree and graduated from the Kellogg School of Management with a master's in management studies. But that is not all he did in college. Perhaps his biggest accomplishment in college was when as a junior he donated peripheral blood stem cells and as it turned out it helped save a person’s life. This person was suffering from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He had the pleasure of meeting the person he helped at Super Bowl LII. After college he went undrafted but was signed by the Patriots. They waived him at the end of preseason.. The SAINTS considered him a “sure-handed receiver” and quickly picked him up at the start of the 2017 season. He appeared in one regular season game and one playoff contest in his rookie campaign. Since joining the SAINTS he has played in 21 games with five starts, recording ten receptions for 106 yards and two touchdowns. One interesting fact about Carr is during a recent off-season he recently participated in an internship for U.S. Senator Rand Paul (Ky.)
