Philippe Carter was one of the original cornerbacks in the NSFL. In eight seasons, Carter racked up 26 interceptions, 522 tackles, and 122 passes defended. He was selected to the Pro Bowl five times, including the first four NSFL seasons. Carter also won Ultimus Bowl III with the Arizona Outlaws and helped the Yellowknife Wraiths to their first Ultimus championship in 2023.
Carter missed out on the Hall of Fame by a measly one vote in the 2024 ballot, and again he missed out in 2025, receiving 4 votes. Perhaps the five Pro Bowl selections were not enough for the committee, or the rings, or the solid stats put up over a long career. Although these are the start of a good Hall of Fame resume, I would like to draw attention to Carter’s signing with the Las Vegas Legion. Philippe had already shown that he was one of the top corners in the league, but chose to sign with struggling Las Vegas in hopes of bringing some veteran leadership to their locker room and help turn around the culture. Obviously, this didn’t work out, but the attempt is admirable and is a quality of a Hall of Fame player.
