Michael Carter II (born March 8, 1999) is an American professional football cornerback for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Duke and was selected by the Jets in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft.[1]
Carter was ranked as a threestar recruit by 247Sports.com coming out of high school.[2] He committed to Duke on July 4, 2016.[3]
Carter was selected by the New York Jets with the 154th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft, a pick they previously acquired as part of a trade that sent Leonard Williams to the New York Giants.[4] Coincidentally, the Jets drafted another Michael Carter from rival school North Carolina in the fourth round of the draft earlier that day.[5]
