Not too long ago, hard-hitting safeties were considered a positive at both the NFL and collegiate level. However with the increase of targeting penalties and unnecessary roughness, this trait has become harmful for players and teams. As it relates to NFL hopeful, Amari Carter, penalties of this variety unfortunately put a damper on his otherwise quality career.
And as he hopes to make moves and carve out a spot on a team in the pros, Carter will emphasize other positive traits to his draft profile such as positional versatility, grittiness, selflessness, and a high character leader both on and off the field.
