Virgil R. Carter (born November 9, 1945 in Annabella, Utah) is a former professional American football quarterback who played in the National Football League and the World Football League from 1967 through 1976. He was the first great quarterback from Brigham Young University, and the first Latter-day Saint quarterback in the NFL, although this is sometimes erroneously attributed to Danny White. Carter had the unfortunate luck to be on the roster of the Cincinnati Bengals at the same time as Ken Anderson. The Bengals chose to go with Anderson over Carter, and Virgil subsequently left the Bengals.
