A fifth-round pick out of Duke in 2021, Michael Carter II has developed into one of the New York Jets‘ best late-round draft picks in recent memory. Carter II won New York’s starting nickel role going into Week 1 of his rookie season and has held it down across all 32 games he’s played in his two seasons as a Jet, playing solid football on a consistent basis.
But the 24-year-old has his sights set even higher.
On Thursday, Carter II took to Twitter with a bold guarantee. He posted, “Still underrated… I’ll be the best nickel in the league in ‘23 the work is gonna show”.
