SCOUTING REPORT
Michael Carter has been a steady force in Chapel Hill since 2017. Carter is a dynamic RB who excels as a receiver for the Tarheels. He is elusive and possesses great instincts as a runner allowing him to find lanes inside or out. Carter is on the smaller side, but you would not be able to tell by his willingness to run between the tackles. He is hard to tackle, and when you do have him reeled in, you better wrap up and hold on because he has a knack for slipping through tackles. Some scouts believe Carter will fit a complementary role in the NFL. We think he is a sneaky good player with three-down ability who could potentially be the number one in the right situation.
