The East-West Shrine game is a showcase for the next generation of NFL greats and TCU’s Tank Carder is attendance and turning heads. Practice for the game is underway and Tank has been impressive according to Charlie Campbell of WalterFootball.com.
TCU linebacker Tank Carder played well and did a quality job of staying with backs out of the backfield. It was impressive to see Carder closely cover quick, smaller running back Bobby Rainey from Western Kentucky. Later on in the nine-on-nine run scrimmage, Carder blasted a fullback in the backfield to blow up a run. Carder also flowed down the line to make a good stop of Tyler about three yards downfield. Carder had a few mistakes in practice, but overall, he looked improved.
A defensive prospect who stood out was TCU linebacker Tank Carder. In the nine-on-nine scrimmage, he started strong by popping the back for a good tackle near the line of scrimmage. A play later, Carder fired through the line to bust a run at the line for a slight tackle for a loss. He did a quality job of taking on blocks and shedding offensive linemen. Carder came close to an interception on the team scrimmage, but the ball flew just past his hands. A tough linebacker, the 6-foot- 2, 236-pounder plays bigger than his listed measurements. Carder could surprise some observers on Draft Day and in the NFL.
I know a lot of people have been bringing up Tank’s size, but I agree with what Charlie Campbell said. Tank will surprise a lot of people once you get him on the field. I have no doubt he will succeed in the NFL.
TANK CARDER IS GOING TO SURPRISE ALOT OF PEOPLE! HE PLAYS WITH HEART MIND & SOUL EVEN WHEN HE'S INJURED! A FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK IN MY MIND! YOU'LL SHOW EM WON'T YA TANK!
