Carter Aims for Defensive Player of the Year

After a rookie campaign that saw him earn two benchings but still record four sacks and finish fifth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, Carter has bigger aspirations. "I want to be Defensive Player of the Year," Carter said.

The third overall pick believes his goal is realistic. "Just my process and knowing who I can be — and a belief in myself. I know what I'm capable of," Carter stated, acknowledging his past issues with tardiness but claiming to have learned from them. xsportfeed.life
