The Jets selected Carter in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 107th overall.
EDGE Analysis
Carter (5-foot-8, 201 pounds) is unlikely to take up a big workload as an NFL back, but the North Carolina product was consistently productive in college and should be competent on passing downs early in his NFL career. He might be the Jets' best current passing-down option at running back, though a lack of speed at his size (4.54-second 40) makes him a long shot to emerge as a starter.

Carter had eight carries for 60 yards and a touchdown and added two catches for 15 yards in Saturday's Senior Bowl.
EDGE Analysis
Carter had the best day of any running back Saturday, as no other player at his position averaged more than 2.5 yards per carry. The North Carolina product made a name for himself in college for being explosive -- he led the nation in runs of 20-plus yards with 18 -- and showed that throughout the week in Mobile, including on the big stage. Carter has a dense build at 5-foot-7 and 202 pounds with impressive burst and long speed. He very well could be one of the first five running backs off the board come April.
