Nigel Carr (American football)

Nigel Carr (born September 21, 1958) is a former American football linebacker who played in the National Football League (NFL).

Carr attended the University of Washington, where he played college football for the Washington Huskies. He was a key player on the Huskies defense, known for his speed and hard-hitting style.

He was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round (47th overall) of the 1981 NFL Draft. Carr played for the Seahawks from 1981 to 1985. He was a starting linebacker for several seasons and contributed significantly to the Seahawks' defensive efforts.

Carr's NFL career was unfortunately cut short due to a knee injury sustained in training camp before the 1986 season. He attempted a comeback but was ultimately unable to return to the field.

After his playing career, Carr has remained involved in the Seattle community, although specific details of his post-NFL activities are less readily available. He is remembered as a solid and dependable linebacker during his time with the Seahawks.
