New York Giants’ rookie edge defender Abdul Carter has a gift that defensive line coach Andre Patterson has seen just one other time in a coaching career that began in 1982.
“I think he’s explosive. He’s quick. He’s sudden,” Patterson said. “But I think the thing that’s unique in him, when they had me look at him and evaluate him before the draft, is he has an uncanny ability to feel how to win at the top of the rush.”
That doesn’t sound all that special, right? Well, Patterson was just getting warmed up in his explanation of why it actually is.
