Cris was drafted in 1987 out of The Ohio State University by the Philadelphia Eagles. He went on to a stellar NFL career spanning 15 years including 12 years with the Minnesota Vikings. Coupling stunning athletic ability with durability, Cris played a full 16 game slate for 13 seasons and appeared in eight consecutive Pro Bowls. In 1999 he became only the second player in NFL history to catch 1,000 passes, putting him into the history books alongside Jerry Rice. Cris ranks second on the NFL’s all-time list for total receptions (1,101) and receiving touchdowns (130). He received the NFL Man of the Year award in 1999.

In addition to his on field accomplishments, Cris has been an active member of the community. Some of his off the field accomplishments include The Carter-White Charitable Foundation for underprivileged children. He created the Vikings Super Challenge, which challenges students to stay in school and away from drugs. He also created the Cris Carter academic Honor Roll Program that recognizes high school athletes that excel on the field and in the classroom. Cris now splits his time as a consultant to FAST, a weekly commentator on HBO Sports “Inside the NFL”, the official analyst to the NFL on YahooSports.com and coaching his son’s little league football team.

Cris attributes his constant and consistent off-season training with FAST to the longevity of his football career and his success in the NFL. Cris decided that after he was done playing, there needed to be a facility available for anyone from kids to professional athletes to train at and get better. South Florida is a place where young athletes can play sports year round and it is also an inviting place to professional athletes for a home in the off-season. Cris knew that athletes of all levels could benefit from the knowledge and technology that helped him become one of the most prolific receivers in the National Football League.
