Punter
No. 3
Florida State
"Last year Duane signed with the Jets as a free agent on September 1. He'd had a tryout with the club but wasn't signed at the time. He set a Jets record for most punts in a season with 81, averaging 39.7 yards. Duane's longest career punt was 72 yards at San Francisco last fall, the third best in Jets history. His individual average placed him sixth in the AFC and 11th in the AFL. He took over as the holder in the fifth game.
Carrell started in pro ball in 1974 with the Jacksonville Sharks of the World Football League. He joined the Dallas Cowboys when the Sharks folded and averaged 39.8 on 40 punts in the last half of the 1974 season. He completed a 37-yard touchdown pass against the Redskins that year. Carrell was waived by the Cowboys in 1975 but signed with Los Angeles and averaged 39.4 on 73 punts for the Rams that year.
Duane must work to get more hang time into his punts. His distance is adequate.
A three-year letterman as a punter and place kicker at Florida State, Duane played in the 1971 Fiesta Bowl. He holds a B.S. in management.
Duane is active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He's a salesman for Ward Hughes Co. His birthplace and hometown is Washington, D.C. and his name is pronounced CAR-ol."
