2020 stats: Carter was thrust into the limelight for the Syracuse Orange last year, and actually responded pretty well. He started 10 games at safety, was second on the team in tackles with 67 while tacking on two picks, three TFLs and a forced fumble.
2021 projections: With a year under his belt, you could see Carter take some leaps forward in year two. He’s a likely starter at safety once again and last year’s experience for the entire secondary should pay some dividends despite their relative youth.
