It didn’t take long for Lorenzo Carter to impress the New York media. The former Georgia linebacker was one of the clear standouts of the New York Gaints’ rookie minicamp.

Carter, drafted No. 66 overall in the third round, was listed at linebacker on the UGA roster, but is expected to also be used on the defensive line this fall.

“I spoke yesterday about how Lorenzo Carter looked a lot more like an edge rusher than a linebacker to me in terms of his frame and skillset,” writes Giants.com reporter John Schmeelk. “I was not surprised to see him working with the defensive linemen during early drills, working on his get-off from a three-point stance. I bet he will join guys like Olivier Vernon and Avery Moss, who will be in the linebacker room on Wednesday and Thursday and then join the defensive linemen late in the week when the team works on third downs and sub-packages.”

In the Giants 3-4 defense, Carter should earn plenty of snaps as an edge-rusher. His technique and skillset are already getting noticed.
