Giants rookie linebacker Lorenzo Carter, the 66th overall pick in the 2018 draft, has the raw talent to succeed in the NFL.

But, he also has great teachers around him.

The third-round pick out of Georgia is looking to nail down a role in the Giants’ new-look 3-4 defense, and has utilized his more experienced teammates in his early days with the team.

“We have a very tight core group of outside linebackers, with Vern [Olivier Vernon], Kareem Martin, even Romeo [Okwara], Jordan Williams,” Carter said after practice Tuesday.
