Keith Carter begins his second year with the New York Jets after being hired as the offensive line coach/run game coordinator in January 2023.

Despite using 13 different starters on the offensive line in 2023 due to injury, the most in the League, Carter oversaw an offensive line that helped second-year running back Breece Hall reach 1,585 scrimmage yards, the fourth-best in the NFL. Additionally, Hall became the only running back in 2023 with 75+ receptions and 500+ receiving yards.

Prior to joining the Jets, Carter served as the offensive line coach for the Tennessee Titans for five seasons where he helped the Titans become a top five rushing offense, averaging 139.9 yards per game, the second best in the League. Additionally, in his five years with Tennessee, their 11,471 rushing yards ranked second, while their 4.67 yards per rush was the fourth best in the NFL. They ranked in the top 10 in rushing four of five seasons and never averaged fewer than 125 yards per game in any season.

In 2022, Carter's line helped block for running back Derrick Henry, who recorded the second most rushing yards (1,538) and rushing touchdowns (13) in the NFL. Additionally, the team recorded two rushes of 50+ yards this past season, tied for the second most in the League. With his lead, the Titans recorded a 90.3 run grade that season, according to Pro Football Focus, the sixth best in the League.

In 2021, Carter saw an offense that finished fifth in rushing, averaging 141.4 rushing yards per game and helped left guard Rodger Saffold III receive his first career Pro Bowl selection.

During the 2020 season, Carter's line helped blocked for the NFL's second-ranked rushing offense (168.1 yards per game), while their 25 sacks allowed was the sixth best in the League. The unit helped Henry lead the NFL in rushing (2,027 yards) for the second consecutive year and record the fifth highest single-season rushing total in NFL history.

The Titans offense finished third in the NFL in rushing (138.9 yards per game) in 2019, with Henry leading the League in rushing yards (1,540). Additionally, his line helped block for quarterback Ryan Tannehill who completed 70.3% of his passes that season, the third best in the NFL and recorded a League high 117.5 passer rating on the year.

During Carter's first year with the team in 2018, the Titans offense ranked seventh in rushing (126.4 yards per game), with Henry finishing second in the AFC with 1,059 rushing yards and third in the NFL with 12 rushing touchdowns. With Carter's guidance, left tackle Taylor Lewan was named to the Pro Bowl that season.

Prior to his role in Tennessee, Carter spent three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, serving as their assistant offensive line coach from 2015-16 before being promoted to the team's running backs coach for the 2017 season. Carter was a part of a coaching staff in 2016 who helped the Falcons reach Super Bowl LI. Their offensive line helped quarterback Matt Ryan receive NFL MVP recognition and paved the way for the fifth-best rushing team in the League that season (120.5 yards per game).

Carter spent time at San Jose State in 2014, where the team ran for 1,696 yards and 11 touchdowns, while averaging 141.3 rushing yards per game.

From 2012-13, Carter served on the Seattle Seahawks staff as the offensive quality control coach and was a part of the team's Super Bowl XLVIII Championship in 2013.

Prior to his time in the NFL, Carter coached at the collegiate level at the University of San Diego, University of Redlands, Wagner College and his alma-mater, UCLA.

Carter played tight end and fullback at UCLA from 2001-04 and is the grandson of Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Gino Marchetti, who played for the Baltimore Colts for 13 seasons.

A native of Downingtown, Pennsylvania, Carter and his wife, Kristin have two daughters, Kayla and Kamryn.
