Carlton Aiken Jr
Written By Karver Jordan
Carlton Aiken Jr is the true definition of a Dual Threat quarterback. The NFL Draft Prospect out of Pace University is ready to showcase his skills on the Pro level.
I talked with the 6’2 215 pound quarterback about what teams should expect from him.
“Teams should expect to get the biggest Diamond in the draft. I’m the most accurate running quarterback and I’m the most dynamic runner out of the pocket passers. I’m the true definition of a dual threat. They are also getting someone who is obsessed with getting better. I am so determined to be great I’ll do whatever it takes to reach the next level.”
One word to describe the quarterback’s 2022 season? Amazing. The 2022 season was amazing, Carlton Aiken Jr is a true dual-threat quarterback. Aiken Jr would play in 10 games and would record 120 rushing attempts for 694 yards while adding 6 touchdowns. The quarterback would average 5.8 yards a carry. Moving toward the passing aspect of Carlton Aiken Jr’s game-play the quarterback would attempt 252 passes while only completing 137 (137-252). The 6’2 215 pound quarterback would record 1,799 yards while adding 17 touchdowns and only having 6 interceptions. A great way to end your college career, Carlton Aiken Jr was amazing.
The Pace University quarterback would look back at his college career and would reflect on all the years and what needs improvement.
“Looking back on my career, if there was one thing I would improve it would be my passing game. I was in an RPO run-first offense, so there were some games when we only threw the ball 9 times. We had a very efficient offense running the ball so there wasn’t a need to throw the ball that often.”

Carlton Aiken Jr would touch base on what fans should know about him.
“Fans should know I’m a very down-to-earth guy. I’m a fan of the game as well, so I play with emotions and I feel the same way they feel on game days. The losses are gut-wrenching but the wins are sweet.”
