Carson is the third defensive player selected by the franchise in this year’s draft.
Wake Forest defensive back Caelen Carson plays against Clemson during an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, in Clemson, S.C.The Wake Forest cornerback thought his name would get called in the third or fourth rounds of the NFL draft. His mother, Latasha Owens, invited what he called, “the whole world” to their house.“Yeah, I mean, definitely a big relief for me because, you got yesterday, it was supposed to be immediate family and my mom invited the whole world,” Carson said.
He accepted an invite to this year’s Senior Bowl, but missed the event with a foot sprain. Carson also didn’t work out at the combine because of the injury.He’s not sure why he fell in the draft but health has been an issue. Carson missed games the last three seasons with an assortment of injuries.“This is what comes with it,” he said. “You play a lot of games, you’re gonna get hurt some. You’re going to have nicks and bruises.
“I have no idea,” he said of why he fell. “I still haven’t really wrapped my mind about that. But I’m in the position I’m supposed to be in. It’s God’s plan. I’m in the right spot.”Carson most likely will play in the slot and become a key special teams player. Carson played all special teams units in college.Calvin Watkins
