Cris Carter's son, Duron, says Vikings among top choices for NFL landing spot
Minnesota Vikings legend and Hall of Famer Cris Carter caught 1,004 passes in his time with the team.
His son, Duron Carter, hopes to build on the family's legacy in Minneapolis.
Duron, who has been playing pro ball with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL, visited the Vikings' practice facility in Eden Prairie, Minn. for a meeting and workout with the team.
While he won't be allowed to sign with an NFL team until Feb. 10, Duron told Ben Goessling of ESPN that he considers the Vikings and Indianapolis Colts front-runners for his services.
"It felt like being back home," Duron said. "I used to run around that facility when I was little. It still hasn't changed - I remember some of the cooking people, I still remember where everything is. When I was in for the rookie minicamp, it felt really overwhelming. But this was completely different from the minicamp, from the standpoint of them wanting me and pursuing me. It felt a lot better."
Duron caught 75 passes for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns for the Alouettes last season.
