The New York Giants now arguably have the best pass rush in the NFL with the addition of Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter, who GM Joe Schoen and company selected with the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Carter joins Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Dexter Lawrence up front.
Carter played just one season as an edge defender for the Nittany Lions, and he recorded 12 sacks, 66 pressures, and 24 tackles for a loss while being the center of attention in Tom Allen’s defense. Carter was used all over the defensive front.
