A second-round pick by the Cowboys in 2011, Carter led the Cowboys with five interceptions in 2014. He started only eight games and missed three with a quadriceps injury. According to the coaches’ breakdown, he had 75 tackles to go with one sack, four tackles for loss, three quarterback pressures and eight pass deflections.
Carter, 27, played at a higher level down the stretch, recording three picks in the final three games. He also had 12 tackles in the regular-season finale against the Washington Redskins.
