In 2008, Darnell Carter was done playing football. After being suspended for academic reasons, the former Virginia linebacker was back in his home state of New Jersey working as a dispatcher for a locksmith company.

Carter returned to the team in 2009, when he saw some playing time in the season's first three games. Knee and hamstring injuries, however, took a toll on the rest of his season.
"Ever since then, I guess [former coach Al Groh] gave up faith in me," Carter said. "I just didn't play too much after that."
