Jamal Carter

There are players that fly under-the-radar at camp.

One player this year is Jamal Carter.

Carter was an undrafted free agent last season that spent all 16 games on the active roster. Much like Will Parks and Su’a Cravens, Carter can fill dime linebacker position. The biggest separation will be in game action.

The Denver Broncos and the fans know all too well the story of Lorenzo Doss and his exceptional play in Training Camp.

Carter is no Doss.

Carter can translate his play on the football field into the regular season. He is a dime linebacker capable of covering running backs and tight ends. Carter is not as fleet of foot as Cravens; however, he runs with a switch always turned on.

This ‘hair on fire’ mentality could get called for penalties in this new NFL rule scheme, but Carter should not change his game because of it.

Carter adds value to a secondary desperate for guys to emerge. He continues to solidify his spot on this roster.
