The New York Giants might have an Abdul Carter problem — or several. It's tough to gauge at this point. The third-overall pick has yet to play like a top-three pick so far in his rookie season, and now, fans might have a bit more insight into the reasons why.

According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, Carter hasn't exactly been taking his job seriously. Look no further than his first-drive benching against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11. According to team sources, the 21-year-old was caught sleeping through team walk-throughs, which resulted in interim head coach Mike Kafka benching the rookie for the first six plays of the game.
