Game Film Evaluated:                

Notre Dame (2014)

Arizona State (2014)

Pros: Top closing speed, can easily transition from backpedal. Has excellent recovery speed. Effective tackler and likes to be physical.

Cons: Consistently lets receivers run past him as has confidence he can recover. Played a ton of off zone with a huge cushion at ASU. A bit over aggressive trying to deliver big hit versus just wrap up at times. Sloppy inside technique in man, let the receiver cross his face and offered no resistance.

Summary: Alex Carter is a frustrating evaluation, the player he should be is a top prospect who can lock down any receiver with his speed and top notch recovery burst. The player he is at this point is a tease, a long way to go with regard to using proper technique, redirecting receivers especially in press man. He needs to play with better awareness as lets his receiver get behind him way too often. There is a ton to like about Carter but a high risk factor as well. He is talented enough to be a first round pick but did not play like it consistently at Stanford. I project him to a late 2^nd round pick with high risk to a team that doesn’t need him to play right away, can afford some growing pains with him.
