== NFL Career ==

=== Philadelphia Eagles ===

The Eagles selected Carmichael in the seventh round of the 1971 NFL Draft from Southern University. Despite being a late-round pick, he developed into one of the NFL's premier receivers:

'''Career Highlights:'''
* 4-time Pro Bowl selection (1973, 1978, 1979, 1980)
* 1973 NFC Receiving Champion
* Super Bowl XV appearance (1980 season)
* Eagles all-time receiving leader at retirement
* 127 consecutive games with a reception (NFL record at the time)

=== Playing Style ===

At 6'8", Carmichael used his exceptional height advantage to dominate defensive backs. His combination of size, hands, and route-running made him virtually unguardable in the red zone and on deep routes.

=== Super Bowl XV ===

Carmichael was part of the 1980 Eagles team that reached Super Bowl XV. Though the Eagles lost to the Oakland Raiders 27-10, the season represented a high point in his career.

=== Career Statistics ===

With the Eagles:
* 589 receptions (team record at retirement)
* 8,978 receiving yards (team record at retirement)
* 79 receiving touchdowns (team record at retirement)
