Jamal Carter, S/ST

The Broncos gave their highest undrafted signing bonus to Jamal Carter, and he rewarded them by making the final 53-man roster and playing a key role on special teams as well as playing in a few games defensively.

Carter showed in the preseason his positional versatility, lining up primarily at linebacker and doing some of the same in regular season play.

Carter is built more like a linebacker than a safety, but has the speed and athleticism to play on the back end of a defense.

I wouldn’t say he’s a refined prospect at this point, but he has some playmaking abilities and I think he’s a player that could stick in the rotation moving forward.
