If you didn’t think the superstar hype could grow any louder for Abdul Carter, you would be dead wrong.

This is a player who made First Team All-Big Ten twice at two different positions. Someone who in his first-ever single season as an EDGE rusher recorded 12.0 sacks and 68 tackles in one of college football’s most difficult conferences.

Now he’ll be playing on a defensive line alongside Dexter Lawrence, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Brian Burns on a defense that’ll be a quarterback’s worst nightmare. Can you say breakout star three times fast?

And he's been turning heads throughout the summer.
