Would not be denied a roster spot! Watch him be a heat seeking missile cleaning-up the tackle for loss after lining up 10+ yards from the line of scrimmage.
Fun comment from the peanut gallery about @carsonsteele30, including HIS OFFICIAL NICKNAME.
"I'm new here but I've known Carson since he was a little kid. Glad to see he is becoming a fan favorite. Here are a few things I know about him.
In the weight room he will be one of the strongest non-lineman in the league. Kid is a monster with an unreal work ethic.
On the field he is exactly what you have seen. He won't have any 80 yard TD runs but he's not slow. His hip flexibility is better than people think, his vision is great, but most of all he is a bruiser. He always falls forward. Always.
Watch the expressions of the guys who tackle him. It hurts to tackle him. He has great hands out of the backfield. If they ever release him and he catches a ball in open field he will flat out terrorize the DBs who have to tackle him.
He is a way above average blocker, and when he played for me he was a great tackler. Call it contact courage. He has it in abundance. In fact one of our biggest challenges was getting him to run around people in open field. His preference is to steamroll anybody in his path.
Off the field you have a kid living his dream. He is a genuine, God-fearing young man who has a heart as big as his muscles. Back home he spends every opportunity in the youth football program where he played. He gets swamped by kids wanting autographs and he will sign every one with an ear-to-ear grin. He has a boyish charm that is captivating.
Oh, and his first (and only IMHO) nickname is War Horse. If you've seen the movie you understand.
You got a steal (pun intended) by getting him as a UFA but, likewise, he landed on the best possible team for his talents.
Enjoy!"

He says it will be one-and-done, and it will be the greatest live sporting event of all time.
