PLAYER ANALYSIS
Backup quarterback potential with the ability to create positive off-schedule plays with his arm or legs outside the pocket. He doesn't have much of an arm so he needs to work with plus timing and extreme accuracy in order to avoid interception trouble in the league. He scans the field with good coverage recognition but will sit on his primary target a little long at times. His athletic ability is intriguing, but he must prove he has functional arm strength and enough poise in order to make it on a roster.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Carter was good in 2018, but he dominated his level of competition in 2019 along with fellow edge defender, John Daka. He works through blocks with his eyes and gets off blocks in a timely fashion. He plays with efficiency as run defender, but is missing the twitch or pure power that teams like to choose from. As a rusher, he's too gradual and doesn't feature the same efficiency in finding half-man positioning and sliding around the edge. Teams will like the size and production, but he might be a limited early-down backup at best.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Undersized college edge defender who will need to prove he can transition into a role as a 4-3 outside linebacker. The pass-rush production and ability to attack the pocket could carry over as a blitzer, but he's simply too small to become a designated pass rusher. Daka plays with tenacity and sniffs out the football, but may not have the desired agility and lateral quickness as a scrape-and-chase, off-ball linebacker. His competitive nature, toughness and special-teams traits could give him an outside chance of landing a practice squad spot.
