OLB Bruce Carter: 6-3/235/4.57, No. 6 OLB, 68th overall; What Scouts Like: "Pure athleticism. Prior to the (knee) injury, he had great speed and overall athletic ability.

Carter is not the most instinctive or most physical player, but if you cover him up and protect him a little bit, he's got the stuff you can't coach." (CBS Sports)
