Chris Carter brings size, red-zone juice, and veteran tight end value to NIU
In the 2024 season, Northern Illinois TE Chris Carter flashed as a reliable mismatch target, finishing with 21 catches for 178 yards after posting 12 grabs, 178 yards, and 2 touchdowns in 2023[6][7]. At 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds, he gives the Huskies a big-bodied seam threat and red-zone presence, with veteran experience from both NIU and Howard that suggests steady, assignment-sound play[1][9][10]. The fit? If your team wants a tight end who can stretch defenses vertically, box out smaller defenders, and add grown-man toughness, Carter’s your guy[1][9].
