At 6-2, 230 pounds, Carpenter has 4.47 speed and is at his best coming downhill. Where Carpenter is going to make his living his rookie season is on special teams. “We’re going to move him to the inside linebacker,” Green Bay’s head coach said. Immediately following the draft Matt LaFleur said the Packers would slot him in at linebacker. The Packers needed to get new special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia some hired guns and Gutekunst brought in a trained assassin by selecting Carpenter with the 228th overall pick.Ĭarpenter is a hybrid defender with the versatility to play safety or linebacker.
