In 2023, T.J. Carter made an impact in the secondary. He totaled 31 tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble. He primarily was a depth piece, not starting in any games – but proving his value to the team throughout the season.

According to PFF, T.J. posted a 60.1 Defensive Grade.
Carter had an excellent college career at Memphis, racking up 249 tackles, a sack, and eight interceptions. This led to some NFL interest, and he was eventually picked up by the Los Angeles Rams. T.J. was active for a couple of games during the 2022 season, recording a tackle.
