DeAndre Carter

DeAndre Carter is an NFL wide receiver and return specialist from San Jose, California. Born April 10, 1993, he attended Washington High School in Fremont before playing at Sacramento State. Carter is listed at 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds, and his pro role has combined slot-receiver work with punt- and kickoff-return duties.

At Sacramento State, Carter became one of the program’s most decorated receivers. As a senior in 2014, he earned multiple All-America honors, was the unanimous first-team All-Big Sky selection, and was a team co-captain. His college tape and résumé reflected a versatile open-field player: a productive receiver who also contributed on kick returns and delivered a late punt-return touchdown against Portland State.

Carter entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Baltimore in 2015 and later had stops with Oakland, New England, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Houston, Chicago, Washington, the Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas and Cleveland. Cleveland’s 2025 roster listed him at wide receiver, but NFL.com lists Carter as a free agent as of September 20, 2026, so no current team is stated here. His long NFL career has been built on quickness, return-game vision and positional flexibility rather than a single-role receiving assignment.
