The New York Giants selected Penn State Edge Rusher Abdul Carter with the third overall choice of the NFL 2025 draft.
New York went back and forth in the rumor mill with the big question: will they select a quarter-rear?
The same thing about last season, but it was finally Malik Nabres at number six in total. After another bad season, the giants were placed to take another potential generational talent, and they did not transmit the Nittany Lions product.

Carter is the first perspective of the consensual defensive line, very much believing that he can imitate what Micah Parsons has given to Dallas Cowboys since he entered the League.
After all, Carter wore No. 11 to Penn State as Parsons did.

Carter was the defensive player of the year Big Ten, a finalist in the Bednarik Prize and an All-American from the first team after having led the nation in loss with 23.5 in the season. He accumulated 12 bags in 16 games with 68 plated and four defended passes.
Athletics, explosivness out of the melee line and talent to be in the right place at the right time to bring the quarter-arre to the ground is something that the giants could certainly benefit in 2025 and beyond.

However, there is a question about Carter’s health after undergoing a stress reaction in your foot. But he recently had a positive medical update when an exam showed that he was healed and that he does not need surgery.
Carter will team up with two of the best defenders in the League, the Rusher Edge Brian Burns and the defensive platform Dexter Lawrence.
Kayvon Thibodeaux, which the Giants took in the first round in 2022, is also part of this stacked defensive line.
In addition, Carter is a native of Philadelphia who grew up in an unconditional fan of Eagles. However, it now ends that they are his rival of the NFC East, a team that comes out of a super bowl victory against the Chiefs of Kansas City that the Giants will see twice a year.

The giants may not be done in the first round either. Commercial rumors revolved around GM Joe Schoen and his front office because they could still use a quarter of the future despite the veterans of the signing of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free will.
