Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Effective in pursuit when chasing down backs as a run defender. Carter has the athleticism to cover a lot of ground when dropping into coverage.
  • Shows a great feel in coverage. Often arrives at the receiver at the same time as the ball, conceding few yards after the catch. Has straight-line speed to stay with or chase down receivers in man.
  • Exhibits good closing speed with long arms, making him adept at hindering quarterbacks and running backs.
  • Displays good quickness off the line of scrimmage and flashes the violent hands to win around the edge.
  • He has good speed and closing burst when blitzing.
  • Carter demonstrates good quickness and an excellent understanding of angles, often outmaneuvering blockers to the spot.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • While effective in pursuit, Carter's instinct for locating the ball against the run could improve.
  • Despite his lateral agility, there's room to enhance his pursuit effectiveness.
  • As a tackler, he tends to grab and drag more, and could benefit from increasing the intensity of his hits.
