Louis Edward Carter (February 6, 1953 – October 11, 2020) was an American professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL).
Born in Laurel, Maryland, he was a third round pick of the Raiders in 1975 having been the MVP of the Coaches' All-American college all-star game in his senior year at Maryland.
He also threw the first TD pass in franchise history when he was stopped at the line of scrimmage in a game against the Seahawks and then lobbed the ball across the line to receiver Morris Owens for an unlikely one-yard score.
[1] After retiring from pro football, Carter sold cars for Covington Buick in Silver Spring, Maryland.
