The New York Giants selected Georgia linebacker Lorenzo Carter with the 66th overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft.
Carter was a dynamic and versatile linebacker while at Georgia. He impressed at the NFL combine with a superb 40-yard dash.
The Giants have neglected the linebacker position for years under former GM Jerry Reese. The middle of the defense was seldom filled with quality, and was often a liability in run support and pass coverage.
The team boasted the likes of Jonathan Casillas and the ever injured Keenan Robinson and B.J. Goodson last year.
