It feels like a lifetime ago that Abdul Carter was asking New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor to unretire his jersey number, only to sleep through meetings and show up late to practice. His name was all over the news, but for all the wrong reasons. That was so 2025.
Carter's late-season results, compared to his early-to-midseason production, are night and day. It's genuinely shocking what can happen when you actually attend meetings and stop falling asleep during film study, especially as a rookie.
It's objectively crazy how long the former Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year got away with being a terrible teammate, but that's just how things went under former head coach Brian Daboll.
