Quinton Carter

Quinton Carter was born in Las Vegas and grew up in North Las Vegas. He was a quarterback and basketball standout at Cheyenne High School and was named to the Las Vegas Sun's all-decade team. At Oklahoma he played special teams, redshirted in 2007, and became a starter in 2009, when he had 88 tackles and four interceptions (including one in the Sun Bowl win over Stanford). That season earned him second-team All-Big 12. In 2010 he was a consensus All-American and first-team All-Big 12. Denver drafted him in the fourth round, 108th overall, in 2011, and he started at safety next to Brian Dawkins as a rookie. He was with the Broncos through 2014, and his NFL totals are 79 tackles and 2.0 sacks. He is retired.
