The Cincinnati Bengals went heavy on defense in the 2022 NFL Draft, which included Florida Gators defensive lineman Zachary Carter with the 95th-overall selection.
As a redshirt senior this past season, Carter recorded 31 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, two pass deflections, and one forced fumble. In 2020, he had 35 tackles, nine tackles for loss, five sacks, two pass deflections, and one fumble recovery.
Carter played defensive end and defensive tackle during his time in Gainesville, as his versatility made him attractive to a Bengals franchise that loves having guys who can play multiple positions, especially on the defensive line.
