Comments
- Stock is Rising : Carriker sky-rocketted from a 2nd-rounder in January to a top-15 prospect by March.
- 04/01/07 - ESPN analyst Merril Hoge spoke with the Detroit Free Press about the NFL draft...Asked who he felt was the best player in the draft, he mentioned Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson, Michael Bush and Adam Carriker.
Of Carriker, Hoge said: "the defensive end from Nebraska is special. He's a guy who could be a very good pass rusher. He could be the cornerstone of your defense."
- 03/22/07 - Jaguars.com: Nebraska’s Adam Carriker, 6-6, 295, has the size, speed and athletic ability to play end or tackle; most project him to be an end. “Great combination of athleticism, size, growth potential and football intelligence,” Tony Pauline said. Carriker is not a great pass-rusher but he’s outstanding against the run and has the frame to add 30 pounds and become a dominant tackle. He runs a 4.9 and is a top 15 pick.
Pauline is the president of tfydraftpreview.com and serves as jaguars.com’s draft analyst.
- NFL Draft Audio: DE Adam Carriker
- 01/28/07 - Mel Kiper, Post Senior Bowl: Versatile. Long arms. Big frame. Uses hands well. (mid-Round 1)
- Mel Kiper: You just don't see many defensive ends carrying 300 pounds who can move as well as Carriker.
- 01/16/07 - Workouts could push Carriker higher (than 25th pick) but there aren't that many 3-4 teams who need to upgrade DE. (DraftDaddy.com)
- Will participate in 2007 Senior Bowl
- Invited to 2007 NFL Scouting Combine
