Scouting Report: Strengths
- Along with great instincts, he’s an explosive mover. Carter can disrupt plays in the backfield due to his ability to read and react quickly.
- A dynamic edge rusher, Carraway has NFL-caliber quickness and speed. He gets off the snap quickly and has the flexibility to bend the edge and the pure speed to close on the quarterback.
- Carter shows good quickness off the line of scrimmage and flashes the violent hands to win around the edge.
- Tougher between the tackles than many expect. Fluid and quick drop into zone, covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 "MIKE" and knows where the markers are.
- He’s very good in coverage when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
- He’s a natural in coverage, with the movement skills of a defensive back in man coverage against tight ends.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Carter doesn’t have much room on his frame to add weight, and Carter lacks the upper-body strength to be a stack-and-shed linebacker.
- He lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Carter lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
- He’s a grab-and-drag tackler and needs to be covered up by his defensive line in order to move freely against the run; he’s cooked if he runs into blockers at the second level.
