2022 NFL Draft Prospect Report: Amari Carter

“Amari Carter spent five years laying down the law for the Hurricanes; a bruising hitter and unafraid to throw his weight around, Carter was tasked with setting the physical standard for his teammates to follow. He certainly accomplished that - Carter was a tackling machine for Miami, operating predominantly as a strong safety that was let off the leash to combat an opponents’ run game. Carter did display some versatility, but it was always forward thinking, and there is some untapped pocket penetration skills to be developed. For Carter to stick around in the NFL, he’ll need to add an element of control to his game; far too many unnecessary penalties in his collegiate career where from him not being able to distinguish between competitive and egregious. If he can rein it in a little, there’s a ceiling of a nickel safety role player and special teams contributor at the next level.”
