Alex Carder - QB - Broncos

Lions signed Western Michigan QB Alex Carder.

Carder (6-2, 216) showed some athleticism with a 4.92 forty, 33-inch vertical, and 9-foot-5 broad jump at Western Michigan's March 12 Pro Day. Not an NFL-caliber pocket passer, Carder completed only 58.5 percent of his senior-year throws with a 6.66 YPA and 13:10 TD-to-INT ratio. He also missed six games with a fractured right (throwing) hand. He'll try to beat out Kellen Moore for No. 3 duties in Detroit.

Alex Carder - QB - Broncos

Western Michigan senior QB Alex Carder will participate in the East-West Shrine Game.

Carder missed the majority of his senior season with a broken throwing hand. In fact, a pin had to be inserted during surgery, but Carder did play in the final two games of the season. He is a fringe draftable talent, so this week could be big for the Broncos' evaluation.

Alex Carder - QB - Broncos

Western Michigan senior QB Alex Carder is aiming to return for the Broncos game against Central Michigan on November 3.

Carder had a pin inserted, and subsequently removed, in his broken throwing hand, but a fairly lengthy recovery process is required. Carder is a favorite non-BCS quarterback of some, but he'll have to show NFL caliber arm talent and skills in a post season all star game, possibly even the East-West Shrine.

Alex Carder - QB - Broncos

Western Michigan senior QB Alex Carder remains questionable for Saturday's game against Toledo with a right hand injury.

The senior injured his throwing hand late in the third quarter of last week's game after hitting it on the helmet of a defender. Carder is scheduled to meet with a doctor on Tuesday, so the team will have more information at that time. A longtime starter for the Broncos, Carder is a potential very late-round to free agent target.

Jordan White - WR - Broncos

Jordan White caught 13 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown, but Western Michigan lost to Purdue in the Little Caesars Bowl, 37-32.

The nation’s leading receiver coming in guaranteed he will be the leading receiver when the bowl season is over. White’s 13 receptions gave him 140 on the season. It was the eighth time this year that the senior had double digits for catches and in each of those games he caught at least 12 passes. His 265 yards were a career-high, eclipsing the 238 he had at Toledo on Nov. 8. In addition to the 140 receptions, White had 1,901 yards and 17 TDs. The FBS record for receptions in a season is 155 by Bowling Green’s Freddie Barnes in 2009 and the mark for receiving yards is held by Nevada’s Trevor Insley, who had 2,060 also in ‘09.

Alex Carder - QB - Broncos

Western Michigan’s Alex Carder threw for 439 and 3 touchdowns, but also turned the ball over 5 times in a 37-32 Little Caesars Bowl loss to Purdue.

While Carder threw 4 interceptions, his fumble with less than two minutes remaining in the game cost the Broncos a chance at putting together a potential game-winning drive. It was the fourth straight game in which Carder threw for more than 400 yards and the sixth time he threw at least 3 TD passes. The junior, who missed the final regular-season game with a shoulder injury, had 10 interceptions coming in. He finished the season with 3,873 yards passing and 31 touchdowns.

Tyler VanTubbergen - QB - Broncos

With starter Alex Carder (shoulder) out, Tyler VanTubbergen threw 6 TD passes in a 68-19 win over visiting Akron.

Carder’s shoulder would not allow him to go, so he took 3,251 yards and 28 TDs to the sideline. That proved not to be an issue as VanTubbergen was 19-of-21 (90.4) for 252 yards with 6 TDs -- 4 coming in the second quarter. The sophomore was also 7-60-1 rushing for a total of 7 TDs on the day. VanTubbergen had only 28-career pass attempts coming in.
