Proven tackling presence with NFL-tested linebacker instincts
Carter projects as a dependable, physical linebacker whose best trait is run support—he built his reputation at Maryland by leading the Terrapins in tackles for three straight seasons and starting all 37 games from 2015-2017.[4] At the next level, his pro experience and 6-foot-1, 225-pound frame give him credible inside-linebacker traits, but his profile is more about consistency, diagnosis, and finishing plays than splashy production.[5][7] If you want a steady, assignment-sound defender who has already handled high-volume defensive workloads, he fits; if you need elite speed or disruption, that is not his calling card.[3][4]
