Another day, another autograph. This one is from Jim Carter, born on October 18, 1948, in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. He earned 10 high school letters in hockey, football and baseball and was named an All-America athlete in both hockey and football.
At the University of Minnesota, Carter played on the 1967 Golden Gophers football team that shared the Big Ten title. He captained the team in 1969 and led it in scoring. He also played two years of varsity hockey.
The St. Paul Fighting Saints drafted Carter, but he chose football. The Green Bay Packers picked him in the third round of the 1970 NFL draft. He moved from offense in college to linebacker in the NFL and spent nine seasons with the Packers. He was defensive captain from 1973 through 1976 and played middle linebacker for the NFC in the Pro Bowl after the 1973 season.
Carter has been inducted into the University of Minnesota Hall of Fame, South St. Paul Sports Hall of Fame, Mancini’s (St. Paul) Hall of Fame and Minnesota Old Timer’s Football Association Hall of Fame.
