A press cornerback with an NFL pedigree, Alex Carter left Stanford as a junior and is NFL-ready. He's physical at the line of scrimmage and uses his length well to pin receivers to the line. Carter excels in zone coverage and has very good instincts and read-and-react skills. His plant-and-drive technique is solid and quick—he won't waste steps and has a fluid weight transfer in his hips and feet. He tackles well in the open field and can be a presence on the edge in the run game. Carter has the size NFL teams want and is an aggressive all-around player.
