![]() ![]() In March, Carter pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges of racing and reckless driving, stemming from his involvement in a fatal car-racing accident. That can be fixable as he gets older and develops even more lower-body strength and consistent technique.Ĭarter has the potential to be scheme-proof, but a team that wants to use Carter as a disruptive three-technique in a four-man front might be ideal - at least early in his career. Though he does show the ability to hold up against blockers, his ability to anchor at the point of attack is a bit inconsistent. ![]() In addition to stacking offensive linemen, Carter has the explosive ability and quickness to beat one-on-one blocks at the snap and disrupt both the run and pass. Carter also flashes of an ability to vary up his technique, though, and can turn the corner on twists and games. He has strong hands and primarily wins as a pocket pusher. Diante LeeĬarter is a mauling interior defensive lineman who wins with length and upper-body strength, while also boasting the athleticism and experience to play across the defensive line. It also could make him the first non-QB drafted in 2023. His 4.6-second 40-yard dash, plus his 34-inch arms, makes him a premier speed-rushing prospect. That combination is what makes him equally valuable against the run and the pass. Anderson won consecutive SEC Defensive Player of the Year awards and paired those with consecutive AP All-America nods and Bronco Nagurski Trophy wins - the latter recognizes the best defensive player in the country.Īt 6-foot-3 and 253 pounds, Anderson has a full toolkit of skills to strike, disengage and turn tight corners around tackles and tight ends. In the last two seasons, he’s logged a tackle for loss in every SEC conference game but one. ![]() His most productive games came against LSU and Mississippi State in 2021, when he combined for 8.0 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. Dating to when the NCAA began tracking tackles for loss and sacks in 2005, Anderson ranks 10th and fifth in those respective categories for his career. One of most productive edge rushers in college football history, Anderson has been billed as a can’t-miss prospect since his breakout campaign in 2021. He’s a smart, experienced leader and an easy top-10 prospect, provided GMs can get past his size. Though Young may not have the rocket arm of others in this class, he has proven more than capable of delivering throws to all levels, off all platforms. Time and again during his college career, Young found plays that seemingly didn’t exist, using his athleticism to escape pressure and his vision to find teammates downfield. However, everything else about Young’s game screams “franchise quarterback,” including his incredible ability to uncover calm during chaos. His frame will be a talking point in NFL draft rooms. Young (204 pounds) bulked up for the combine, as expected, but Alabama listed him at 194, and he didn’t weigh in again at his pro day. The Tide lost just four times over that stretch - twice on last-second field goals, once in overtime and once in a national-title game against Georgia. The 2021 Heisman winner, Bryce Young posted eye-popping numbers over his final two Alabama seasons: 79 passing touchdowns (to just 12 interceptions) and more than 8,000 yards through the air.
