Round 7 – Shyheim Carter, Alabama

Carter is another cornerback-safety hybrid who could play in a few different spots. His athleticism allows him to play in the corner or high safety. At 5-foot-10, some believe Carter is too small to be an effective safety, but he was able to start at a top SEC program in Alabama. In his four years, Carter totaled 100 tackles and three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns. At the NFL level, he could help New England as a back-up developmental piece on defense while finding a role on special teams.
