Michael Carter was one of the New York Jets‘ most promising young players in the 2021 season. In only 14 games, the fourth-round pick out of North Carolina put together an impressive rookie season that featured 964 yards from scrimmage and 4 touchdowns.
Carter’s second season was a disappointment. While it was understood that his volume totals would decline due to the arrival of Breece Hall, the most important point is that Carter simply was not as effective with the ball in his hands. His efficiency metrics worsened in both the run game and the pass game.
