Cover-3 based system leveraging his versatility and zone coverage skills allows him to thrive in different defensive packages.
Immediate special teams contributor with a path to a starting boundary corner role in a zone-heavy scheme.
Man-heavy press-man scheme where his hip stiffness and recovery speed are consistently exposed on the island.
Carter's size and zone instincts make him a fit for a defensive scheme that prioritizes vision and disciplined route recognition over raw athletic quickness in man coverage.
Selected #80 overall in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Detroit Lions out of Stanford.
