There are always some players who certain fans hate from the moment we draft them just because they wanted someone different.
But I think the biggest strike against Carman was the claim that he came into camp overweight and out-of-shape last year. That is a kiss of death for a lot of fans. He would have had to play great to erase that from everyone's mind, but unfortunately, he did not play that well at all.
But in college Carmen was All-ACC as a sophomore. His junior season he played with a back injury so bad that it required surgery after the season, but he was All-ACC again. Since Carman is neither exceptionally fast nor strong it is hard to believe that he could accomplish all that while being lazy and not caring.
