1. New York Giants Abdul Carter. Carter checks all the boxes when it comes to the makings of a modern DROY. The first defensive player drafted has won DROY in three of the past six drafts and the award has been dominated by edge rushers of late. Some considered Carter the best player available in the 2025 draft, and for good reason: He’s a force to be reckoned with off the edge, displaying the burst and relentlessness to be a perennial double-digit sack artist. The Giants have a chance to be ferocious when it comes to getting after quarterbacks, and that should only boost the DROY fervor for Carter.
