Texans showing interest in Carter - projected to be 7th round or UDFA though stock is one the rise.

Carter's stock has been on the upswing in the last month. After not being invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, he turned in an impressive performance at FSU's pro day on March 16. Teams have begun to show interest in Carter. The New England Patriots worked out Carter at Mandarin last week, and the Houston Texans flew him out for a visit earlier this week.

"I'm hearing that my stock is up and that I'm not a sleeper anymore," Carter said. "I'll just go with the flow and see what happens."

He is a shorter CB but is also said to excel in the return game.

he seems pretty good and he is fast and has a good jump. i wonder if he could do the same stuff at the NFL level. If so id have no problem gettin him. and if he can return too. that makes him a double threat. Id give him the chance.

The Texans have got to be looking to replace Jones at PR.

Yeah I'm sure they are looking at their options but I also think they are willing to give him perhaps one more chance.

I think the Texans are looking for a speedy WR in the draft, which kind of surprises me. Darnell Jenkins looks like he can become a player. I think the guy we draft will have some return skills and be given a look in camp as a returner.

He might be able to mature as a receiver if he didn't handle PR.
