During a virtual draft party hosted by the Green Bay Packers earlier this year, second-year player Tariq Carpenter mentioned that he had been moved from linebacker to safety. However, what his exact role in this defense will be remains a bit of an unknown.
Carpenter played nearly 2,200 snaps at safety while at Georgia Tech, and that is where he was listed at during his first season in Green Bay. He saw just 17 defensive snaps in 2022, 13 of which came as a free safety.
Listed at 6-3 and 230 pounds, Carpenter has the frame of a linebacker.
