Abdul Carter's Giants Hint Ignites NFL Draft Buzz
The 2025 NFL Draft is just days away, and Penn State's Abdul Carter is dropping breadcrumbs about where he wants to land. With the New York Giants holding the No. 3 pick, is Big Blue his dream spot?
Teasing the Future
Carter sent the internet into a frenzy Friday, posting a photo of Giants legend Lawrence Taylor on X with the iconic quote, "Once a Giant, always a Giant." The Hall of Famer's image—reportedly snapped at the Giants' facility—has fans buzzing. Is Carter, one of the draft's top pass rushers, calling his shot for April 25? His breakfast with coach Brian Daboll earlier this month only fuels the fire.

The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year tore it up in 2024, piling up 12 sacks and an NCAA-best 24 tackles for loss despite a nagging shoulder injury. A foot stress reaction popped up recently, per ESPN, but surgery's likely off the table—good news for his stock. With 23 career sacks at Penn State, Carter's a plug-and-play menace.
• 12 sacks (Top 5 in NCAA)
• 24 TFL (NCAA leader)
• Big Ten Defensive POTY
• 23 career sacks at Penn State
• 6 forced fumbles in 3 seasons
• Projected Top-5 draft pick
Giants Fit?
New York's D-line is already stacked—Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dexter Lawrence—but Carter could be the missing piece. The G-Men were linked to QBs, but with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in town, a game-wrecker like Carter makes sense. Pair him with that trio, and offenses might not sleep.
