2011 NFL Draft Player Profile | Bruce Carter
Drafted by Dallas Cowboys 
Bruce Carter was a three star recruit out of Havelock High School in North Carolina. He is known for his athleticism, and has been deemed a “workout warrior”, by some inside the organization.
Carter didn’t even play much linebacker in high school. He was a safety as a senior coming in at 6’3 205 pounds, but North Carolina wanted him to make the transition to linebacker because of how athletic he was, and his excellent tackling ability.
Carter is a lively character who was one of the few North Carolina defensive players NOT to be suspended for all or part of the 2010 college football season.

Strengths
Carter is very instinctive, which plays into his strengths very well. He doesn’t bite on play action fakes easily, and he uses his strong football IQ to his advantage. On top of that, he’s a workout warrior. He has an impressive bench press of up to 440 pounds, and he’s very quick on his feet. He is a sideline to sideline tackler who wraps up and can bring you down with force, sometimes causing a fumble. He’s solid in coverage, not often getting caught out of position. He’s a very disciplined player who is a natural leader, and has exceptional intangibles.
Weaknesses
Carter could use a bit of work in play recognition skills. He improved over the course of 2010, and he has the IQ to properly diagnose plays, but his reaction time needs to improve a bit. Carter never had many chances to show off his pass rushing ability, and when he did, it was mediocre at best. He needs to work on locating the ball when it’s in the air in coverage. Carter will get out of position at times as he realizes how fast he is, and sometimes is a bit overconfident in his abilities. He’ll have to learn to stick to his zone in coverage and not give up so much ground at times.
Draft Range
Carter entered the season as a surefire first round pick. But his ACL tear against North Carolina State is going to hurt his draft stock, as he won’t be able to participate in the NFL Combine and showcase his pure athletic ability to all 32 scouts. His lack of a pass rush regulates him to a 4-3 outside linebacker position, most likely on the weak side. He’s still a very talented player that could come off the board in the first round if teams aren’t too worried about his injury. I see Carter being pursued by Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Tennessee, and Minnesota in the early part of the second round. I think pick 65 with Carolina is the absolute furthest he will fall if he does because of injury.
NFL Comparison: Lance Briggs
He was in high school when I was a senior at HHS!!! Wow my high school is famous now!!!
Very same era to be the Dodge Rampage, Plymouth Scamp, Subaru Brat and Volkswagen Rabbit pickup so it style of helps make sense plus the volume of Pintos still approximately at that time.
Zune and also iPod: Most individuals compare the particular Zune to touch, but right after seeing how slim along with surprisingly small and light it really is, I ponder over it becoming a rather special hybrid that will combines features of both Touch plus the Nano. It’s very colorful along with lovely OLED screen is a little smaller as opposed to touch display, but the ball player itself feels a great deal smaller and also lighter. It is about 2/3 just as much, and can be noticeably smaller wide and top, while being only a hair heavier.
Thanks for this post. I’ve driven earlier this many instances. Randolph, Utah is one among the coolest towns within the United states. It can be an area that has kept its old-time charm partly because of to your higher elevation and ruggedness of the climate there. The regional ranchers there are the salt of your earth. There are many awesome little decaying old houses and barns in this area untouched there that harken back to smaller and simpler residing. Enchanting.
It’s perfect time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you few interesting things or suggestions. Perhaps you can write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read more things about it!
