WATCH: Notre Dame 4-star QB commit CJ Carr extends play, throws TD
Saline (Mich.) four-star quarterback and Notre Dame commit CJ Carr has made waves for his ability to move around in the pocket and use his feet to extend plays.
He did that Friday night deep in the red zone.
On a play-action pass from around the five, Carr flipped around and started rolling to his left — only to find a defender chasing him down. Carr started to head back to his right but instead of rolling that way, he spinned back left to gain separation. He kept the defender on his back hip like an NBA player coming off a pick before he could find his receiver Tate Bezeau in the end zone for the score.
