Patriots Rookie Markell Carter Draws Inspiration From Sister Battling Lupus

FOXBORO, Mass. — When Keyarrie Hudson, the 20-year-old sister of Patriots defensive end Markell Carter, goes to sleep at night, she doesn’t know if she’ll be able to wake up and move around the next morning.

When Carter wakes up, he makes sure to brush aside his aches and pains while drawing on his baby sister for inspiration. The two have been close forever, and Carter has always wanted to make it big to support her. In the past year, that desire has been taken to the next level.
