Kenneth "Ki-Jana" Carter is a former NFL running back who played for the Cincinnati Bengals and later the Washington Redskins.He got his nickname "Ki-Jana" from a character in the movie Shaft In Africa and has gone by that name since he was born. He was a number one overall draft pick in the 1995 NFL draft. He was injured during a preseason NFL game, tearing his anterior cruciate ligament. The injury robbed him of his speed and led him to be regarded as one of the biggest draft busts of all time, compiling only 1144 rushing yards in 10 seasons.

His best single game came against Michigan State in 1994, when he rushed for 227 yards on 27 carries and scored 5 touchdowns.

He earned co-MVP honors during the Rose Bowl game, and his highlight from that game was an 83 yard touchdown run on the first offensive play of the game.
