FSU Player Focus: Greg Carr

There is no doubt that Carr is a gifted athlete who can snag passes. The only criticism that I would have of him is that he is not showing the physical toughness that I think is needed. Last week he dropped two crucial passes in the Maryland game. All in all, he has tremendous upside potential. Already this year he has 8 TDs to lead all receivers.
