I think handling the run is a strength of his,” Belichick said when asked if Carter was more than just a pass-rusher. “He’s a pretty talented player. He was the seventh pick in the [2001] draft; I don’t think you stumble into that spot. He has good size (6-4, 255), he’s long, he’s got some length. He’s got power. He plays hard, has a real good motor. Well conditioned athlete. Strong. Runs well. Good athlete. He’s obviously been well coached, with his family, and his career at Cal. He has a lot of things going for him. He’s a smart guy, he understands football concepts, and can make adjustments quickly. He works hard. Quite a few positives there.
