Abdul Carter finally sends a sign he’s done testing Giants fans’ patience

Welcome to the NFL, Abdul Carter. It only took 15 games, but the New York Giants rookie linebacker finally had his breakout moment. At last, the 2025 third-overall pick looked like the player Big Blue thought they were getting when they drafted him back in April.

Unfortunately, Carter’s rookie season has been defined more by off-the-field issues and subsequent on-field struggles than anything remotely positive -- and he has absolutely no one to blame but himself.

He's taken ownership of his mistakes, and Big Blue Nation finally got a glimpse of what Carter can be moving forward against the Washington Commanders.
