Lewis Carter

Lewis Carter projects as an undrafted free agent with developmental potential at linebacker, likely to compete for practice squad or reserve roster spots. He possesses a willing mindset and solid football intelligence, but lacks the elite athleticism or production metrics teams typically covet at the position. Carter's value lies in his coachability and ability to contribute on special teams while developing as a backup option in base defense packages.

The composite 51/99 grade reflects legitimate testing concerns regarding athleticism—likely issues with vertical leap, broad jump, and lateral agility that project poorly to NFL tempo and spacing. Playing at UCF (Group of Five competition level) raises questions about whether his tape translates against FBS power conference competition; his production and measurables both suggest a ceiling as a special teams contributor rather than defensive contributor.
