Carter is a very athletic player and it is showcased with his lateral agility and his immediate explosiveness. He plays with a lot of Play Strength and hits with a lot of power. Carter has nailed the speed of his first steps first-step and getting leverage on blockers. He is a decent run stopper with the way he shoots gaps and setting the edge. He plays with a lot of toughness, can be a disrupter, and plays with a motor. Carter has strong awareness and can recognize plays well. He has position versatility as he did line up as a linebacker, defensive tackle, and defensive end/EDGE.
Weaknessess
Now he does not have the greatest balance and it is showcased with his poor posture. He can be over flexible at times and has a habit overreaching on blocks. Carter shows potential with his Pass rushing ability, but is still very raw as a prospect. He has sloppy usage of his hands and does not have great pass rushing moves. Carter must do a better job with his finishing ability. Carter is not the most consistent with the way he sheds blockers. He has a habit taking poor pursuit angles. Now he did suffer a back injury in 2022 which always is a red flag as back injuries are no joke when it comes to durability.
