The NFL preseason is in full swing as a number of former Florida State players made their NFL debuts this past week, but the former Seminole who made the most impact this week did so in the Arena Football League.
Orlando Predators’ wide receiver Greg Carr is the Professio”Nole” Athlete of the Week for the week of August 10th through the 16th for his performance in a playoff loss to the Jacksonville Sharks on Saturday.
The season may have come to an end for the Predators, but Carr finished strong. The 6’6″ former Seminole finished with a team-high 9 receptions for 105 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 55-33 defeat.
Carr battled through injury for much of the season, but finishes the year with over 550 yards receiving and 9 touchdowns.
