Former Georgia outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter impressed scouts at the NFL combine on Sunday. The long, rangy Norcross native recorded the best broad jump ever at the combine by an edge rusher.

Carter flew 10 feet, 10 inches, which was also the third-best broad jump of the day.

Carter also recorded the second-best 40-yard dash time (4.50) and third-best vertical jump (36 inches) among edge rushers.
