Former Alabama DB Shyheim Carter signing with Jets

Former Alabama defensive back Shyheim Carter will be signing with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent according to his agent.

It looks like Shyheim Carter will be signing with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent, according to his trainer Yo Murphy.

The news was released via Instagram late on Saturday night.

After being projected to be a Day 3 pick, the former Alabama defensive back ended up going undrafted before ultimately deciding to join the Jets.

He will be joining fellow Alabama alum C.J. Mosley, as well as former Tide teammate Quinnen Williams in New York.

Carter manned the STAR position for the Crimson Tide’s defense over the last two seasons, and head coach Nick Saban has been quoted saying that Carter was one of the most intelligent players he’s ever coached.

Over the course of the last two seasons, Carter has recorded 86 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss, three interceptions (two of which he returned for touchdowns) and 18 pass deflections.

At 5-foot-10, 194 pounds, Carter is slightly undersized, but he possesses a good, solid build that should fit in nicely as a potential depth option on New York’s defense.

Report: Georgia WR Lawrence Cager signs UDFA deal

Per a report, Georgia football WR Lawrence Cager has signed an undrafted free agent deal following the NFL Draft.

Per a report from Zach Klein of WSB-TV, former Georgia wide receiver Lawrence Cager has signed an undrafted free agent deal with the New York Jets.

Had it not been for a series of injuries to his ribs, shoulder and eventually his ankle, I think Cager is a guy who could have been a fourth or fifth round pick in the NFL Draft.

All he did while at Georgia in 2019 was make big plays. Playing through injuries, Cager recorded 33 catches for 476 yards and four touchdowns before going down with a broken ankle.

Cager came to Georgia as a graduate transfer from Miami.

2020 NFL Draft: Winners, losers from Day 2

Draft Wire’s Gavino Borquez breaks down his winners and losers from Day 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Day 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft is now complete, and there are three rounds of picks that will draw both praise or ire from fans and analysts alike.

Here are our picks for the biggest winners and losers from Friday night’s action:

Winner | Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings struck gold with wide receiver Justin Jefferson and cornerback Jeff Gladney with their first-round selections. Minnesota carried that momentum into Day 2 with some solid picks.

Ranked as one of the top offensive tackles, Ezra Cleveland slipped to No. 58 where general manager Rick Spielman didn’t hesitate on taking the heir apparent to Riley Reiff. Cleveland is the perfect addition for the Vikings’ zone scheme.

Minnesota wasn’t done adding to the cornerback room, drafting Cameron Dantzler with the No. 89 selection. Dantzler’s testing might’ve been questionable, but his tape wasn’t, as he shut down some of the top SEC wideouts.
