“I couldn’t lift (my arm),” kicker Anders Carlson said about a play in Auburn’s loss at Mississippi State. “I didn’t know it was broken until a few days after. I tried to practice ... with my arm tucked. I was kicking looking like a chicken, basically.”
As Griffin raced down the home sideline at Davis Wade Stadium, Carlson made a diving attempt to trip him up at the Mississippi State 40-yard line. It was a fruitless endeavor for Carlson, who awkwardly landed with his left arm above his head as he hit the grass. Three days later, X-ray results showed that Carlson had a fracture at the top of his humerus.“Kind of the worst of both worlds,” Carlson said Thursday morning at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
“I couldn’t lift ,” Carlson said. “I didn’t know it was broken until a few days after. I tried to practice Tuesday, actually, with my arm tucked. I was kicking looking like a chicken, basically.” It marked the second straight season that Carlson dealt with a season-ending injury. Both, coincidentally, occurred against Mississippi State. During Auburn’s loss to Mississippi State in 2021, when the Tigers squandered a 28-3 lead, Carlson tore his ACL on a kickoff late in the game. His season was over, but he opted to return for a sixth season while taking advantage of the NCAA’s free year of eligibility stemming from the pandemic.
For Carlson, he’s hopeful that future is in the NFL, with this week’s combine the next step toward that goal. He left Auburn as No. 2 on the program’s career made field goals list , second in all-time scoring on the Plains and third in career PATs made . He was 79-of-110 on career field goals at Auburn, with a long of 53 yards as a redshirt freshman in 2018.
