Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft saw the Buffalo Bills choose defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, a former Duke player, with their final selection.
While he was at home with his family, Carter got the call informing him that he was the Bills’ No. 95 overall selection. Amanda Montgomery, who the rookie subsequently disclosed was his fiancée, was seated directly beside him. The Ohio native shocked Montgomery a few days before to being picked by proposing in Creekside Gahana.
On April 29, the pair announced their news on Instagram. Posting “4.22.2024 – The beginning of forever.🤍” as the caption, they
A fan wrote, “HELL YESS!!!!” Go, Baby, BILLS! The Mafia will embrace you with wide arms 💙❤️💙❤️. Sayler, the wife of Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir, wrote, “Congratulations 🥳🥳!!”
Carter arranged flowers and a few framed pictures, including a flashback from their early dating days almost ten years ago, in the background of the proposal. In 2022, Carter shared the identical picture in honor of their eighth anniversary. He wrote, “Who would’ve thought we’d be here,” as the tribute’s caption.
“You have been the same through all of the difficulties, new experiences, and numerous new things in life. from all of the vacations, birthdays, and excursions we have taken. To all the innumerable games you have come to support me at across Ohio and now the nation.
“Lastly, I wouldn’t trade the experiences and milestones we have been fortunate enough to share with each other for anything. I appreciate your unwavering love and authenticity, and I wouldn’t swap our relationship for anything.❤️

During rookie minicamp this weekend, the 23-year-old defensive tackle saw his first reps in a Bills suit. Carter went on to join Buffalo’s roster that included 26 players on tryouts, 12 signed undrafted free agents, and nine additional 2024 draft picks.
The Bills Mafia was thrilled to see the newest tackle on the squad for the first time. Carter added, “I’m just excited to get here and earn my role,” to Bills reporter Maddy Glab. He is getting ready to work in a “second to none” metropolis with a “elite” staff, alongside a “elite group of veterans.”

Glab noted that in addition to his dominance on the field, he was an academic All-American. It was evident that Brandon Beane, general manager of the Bills, valued high character based on the players picked that year.
When compared to previous season, the Bills’ defensive tackle room is noticeably different, with the exception of starters DaQuan Jones and Ed Oliver. Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic projects Carter to have an effect on the 53-man roster.
Buscaglia noted that Austin Johnson and “Carter as the top backups behind Oliver and Jones” were added when Tim Settle, Jordan Phillips, and Poona Ford were cut. “(DeShaun) Williams might stay, but his contract allows for an easy cut, and he’ll probably return to a practice squad duty. It looks like they will only keep four members of this group this year.
