📣 DAD’S TAKEON MICHAEL CARTER

A Purple Shock parallel from the year when the Jets had two different Michael Carters on the same roster. The running back's college production was legitimately elite, but fourth-round picks in colored parallels rarely command much attention unless the player becomes a star. Optic's endless parallel rainbow makes distinguishing one shiny variant from another mostly an exercise in squinting at card labels.

ABOUT MICHAEL CARTER

Michael Carter played college football for the North Carolina Tar Heels and was selected by the New York Jets in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft, taken with the 107th overall pick on May 1, 2021. Carter's 3,403 total rushing yards over his collegiate career are fourth best all-time for the school, and his 6.6-rushing yard average was the highest in school history (minimum 50 carries). Against Miami, Carter and fellow North Carolina running back Javonte Williams ran for a combined 544 rushing yards, the most by two running backs in college football history.

The collection features a 2021 Donruss Optic Purple Shock parallel of Carter in his Jets uniform. The Jets also selected Michael Carter II with the 154th overall pick in the 5th round of the 2021 NFL draft, creating the unusual situation of two Michael Carters on the same rookie roster that year. Carter graduated with a degree in exercise science from North Carolina.
