Disappointed as he was with his second season in the NFL, Michael Carter attempted to take a glass half-full approach.
“I’m 24 years old and I’ve been playing football since I was 4,” the Jets’ third-year running back said after Tuesday’s training camp practice. “So, statistically, my year wasn’t great, but if you really look at it, I’m 19 for 20. I’m in good shape.”
Then even when trade addition James Robinson flopped — whose acquisition confused Carter and make him question the belief the Jets had in him — he couldn’t take advantage.Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The player who was such a pivotal part of the Jets’ offense as a rookie, notching 964 total yards and four touchdowns, was nowhere to be found.
He spoke to Chargers All-Pro safety Derwin James, who offered him advice: Don’t overreact to one down season. It’s about lasting. It makes this a pivotal season for Carter, and an important training camp.He could start the season as the Jets’ No. 1 running back.“I feel good about it. Obviously, I’ve done it before,” he said. “My brother tore his ACL. When you get rushed back, it usually tears again. I’m confident in myself and the other guys around me.
