Versatile, physical depth piece with upside on special teams
In the 2025 season, Ethan Carrier projects as a depth defensive back for Minnesota rather than a featured stat producer, but his profile still pops: he’s a 6-foot-1, 205-pound former high school two-way standout with toughness, range, and special-teams value. He was an all-state DB in Minnesota and was described as an aggressive defensive back who can slide between safety and nickel. The big question is opportunity, not talent—he has yet to log game action, so he looks like a developmental fit for a team that values size, effort, and positional flexibility.
