PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: JAHMEER CARTER, DT, VIRGINIA
American Bowl: HT: 6020 | WT: 307 | HD: 1038 | ARM: 3268 | WS: 7758
Evaluation: The Virginia captain is a powerful defensive tackle with a high motor and heavy hands, as Carter brings durability with over 2,800 snaps in college. In run defense, he is stout at the point of attack, using low pad level, heavy hands, along with the leverage needed to stack-and-shed. Carter clogs lanes well, eats double teams and maintains gap integrity. He is versatile, with the ability to play different techniques in multiple fronts. He owns a strong lower body to anchor against power and plays through the whistle with high effort. Yet, has average lateral agility and burst, lacking explosion off the snap. Also, he can struggle re-directing against quicker guards. The Baltimore native tends to rely on power and effort, rather than refined counters and quickness. His shorter arms limit his ability to disengage quickly and he can get engulfed when his hands are late. Carter projects as an undersized, rotational nose tackle with special teams potential.
