#6 ZACHARY CARTER VS ALABAMA (2021)

#6 ZACHARY CARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths 

• ​He is a skilled defensive interior pass rusher who is quick at the point of attack.
• He has an explosive get-off; he creates destruction by blocking assignments with his first step.
• He has versatility as he can play the 1-tech or 3-tech and create upfront blocking destruction for the offensive linemen.
• He can provide pressure as a rusher inside or outside interior defensive positions.
• He will use a variety of pass-rushing moves, bullrush, dip and rip, and a mighty club from outside.

Weaknesses

• He is horrific against the run and typically peels his ears back and takes off.
• He does not have the necessary strength to fight off blocks and make the required tackle.
• He does not use his arms for leverage and cannot disengage from the block as he will be moved around by the linemen.
• Offenses will run power-run plays directly at him as he will need to figure out a plan to stop the run.
• He will be nothing but a pass rush specialist if not fixed.​

Draft Projection: 2nd - 3rd Round

NFL Comparison: Charles Omenihu (Houston Texas)
