The one game Abdul Carter wants NFL teams to watch of him

Supply and demand for quarterbacks might prove otherwise. The Titans hold the first pick, followed by the Browns and Giants.

“We’re going to be open to anything,” Giants general manager Joe Schoen said at the Senior Bowl. “We’re in a good position sitting at three with the players that are available. By process of elimination, we know we’re going to get a good player. Regardless of what happens the next couple of months, we know there’s going to be a really good player there.”

Carter certainly fits that bill.

He finished sixth in Penn State history in sacks, eighth in tackles for loss, and tied for 12th in forced fumbles. In 2024, he became the Nittany Lions’ 15^th unanimous All-American and was selected as the Nagurski-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and the Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year.

Carter’s college career ended in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Orange Bowl. While gutting through a shoulder injury, he posted five tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack and pass breakup. If there’s one game he wants NFL teams to turn on, it’s that one.

Carter added: “I’m probably about 90 percent right now, but these next couple months, this next month, I feel like it’s really going to start getting close to 100.”

Then he can remind everyone that having a franchise defender is just as important as having a franchise quarterback.

“I feel like you definitely need a franchise edge rusher,” Carter said. “If you look at all the great teams, all the great teams that won Super Bowls, you have that one standout great defensive player. And I feel like I’m that.”

Carter is looking to become the next Penn State edge rusher to be selected in the first round, joining recent picks like Chop Robinson, Odafe Oweh, and Parsons, whom Giants fans know all about.
