veteran UCLA trench anchor with NFL-caliber size and proven production
In the 2025 season, UCLA defensive tackle David Carter brought classic interior-line value: a massive 6-foot-5, 300-pound frame, veteran experience, and a college résumé that includes 66 career games with 42 starts, 24.0 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks at UCLA[1][2]. His differentiator is the combination of power, length, and snap-to-snap durability — the kind of DT who can eat blocks, collapse pockets, and let everyone else look faster. If a team wants a grown-man run-stuffer with real disruption upside, Carter is absolutely worth a hard look[1][2].
