Raiders NFL Draft Prospect: LB/Edge Andre Carter II, Army

The Las Vegas Raiders can add one of the best pass rushers in this year’s draft by selecting Army edge rusher Andre Carter II.

As mentioned before, the Las Vegas Raiders will have a first look at 2023 draft prospects in next week’s Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.

Raiders Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham will serve as the head coach of the National Team, which includes some of the best defensive pass rushers in this year's NFL Draft.

While players prepare for the Senior Bowl, we’ll be working alongside SI’s Draft Bible to get you the latest information on any potential pass rushers the Raiders may consider drafting.

“We’re going to continue to find players who fit what we look for, and continue to build this team in our vision, and I think we’re going to, at the same time, our goal is to win football games, and our goal for next year is to make an improvement over where we were this year,” Raiders General Manager Dave Ziegler said.

“Known for his ferocious work ethic, Carter is an explosive playmaker who makes a living on the edge. He attacks quickly and violently with sudden movement, which helps him manufacture turnovers,” Draft Bible said of Carter.

The 6-7 260-pound pass rusher recorded 41 tackles (21 solos), seven tackles for loss, and four sacks last season.

The Army standout had a breakout season in 2021, totaling 44 tackles (32 solos), 18.5 tackles for losses, 15.5 sacks, and one interception.

At the end of the 2021 season, he was named to the AP All-American team, the first Black Knight to make that list in 31 years.

Carter will have an opportunity to impress the coaching staff and perhaps get into the draft's first round.
