Carter might have an untidy positional fit, as he projects somewhere between defensive end and defensive tackle. He gained 12 pounds between the Hula Bowl weigh-in and his pro day, which might signify an attempt to grow his way further inside. He has a powerful strike, with the ability to toss blockers off-balance when he’s flat-footed, but his stiff-legged posture might prevent him from finding enough anchor against downhill drive blockers. He won’t be a productive rusher, but he’s capable of putting pressure on blockers. Carter’s power might buy him time on a practice squad early on.
