Carter views his skill set as an edge rusher as one that defines him as a franchise player at the position. He believes his ghost rush is his best pass rush, and added that his energy, effort and versatility are elements of his style of play that set him apart from other edge rushers in the class.
He has gained confidence in his game through the work he’s put in during his career thus far. His dad, Christopher Carter, helped trained Carter throughout his childhood, instilling in him the goal to be the best player both on and off the field.
“I feel like I’m the best player in the country,” Carter said. “My goal is to come in and be the guy.”
He was the guy at Penn State. Carter ended his collegiate career with 172 tackles, 41 tackles for loss, 23 sacks, one interception, 13 passes defensed and five forced fumbles. While he established himself as an elite pass rusher in college, he also grew as a leader.
“It’s something that had to step up into this year at Penn State,” Carter said. “One of our captains went down, so I had to be a lot more vocal, a lot more just bringing the team behind me, just being the example that people can watch and setting the pace.”
As Carter takes the next step in his football career and fulfilling a lifelong dream of playing in the NFL, he knows there are areas of his game that he can improve. He highlighted how he can use his hands more, run his feet on contact and strike better.
He has been rehabbing from a shoulder injury he sustained against Boise State, but Carter said he has been cleared to start training and working out again. He said he feels about 90 percent healthy and will use the next few weeks to prepare before his pro day on March 28 so he can perform at an elite level.
