The New York Jets selected Duke defensive back Michael Carter II in the fifth round (No. 154 overall) on Saturday, marking the second time they drafted a player with that name this year.

New York began the third day of the event by selecting running back Michael Carter, who spent his college career at Duke's archrival, North Carolina.

The two players had a fun interaction on Twitter soon after the picks were announced.

Carter II is the second safety taken by the Jets this year. New York also used a fifth-round pick on former Auburn defensive back Jamien Sherwood.
