Weakside Linebacker: Lorenzo Carter

Carter missed half of the 2020 season due to a ruptured achilles.

Entering his fourth season in the NFL he has 103 total tackles, 9.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and 10 pass deflections. Carter along with Ojulari on the other side can be a scary sight for the opposing quarterback.

Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has a nice group to work with. Last season after the NY Giants closely lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Martinez said to reporters: “Pat Graham is one of the best defensive coordinators out there.”
