Abdul Carter

Carter began his collegiate career as an off-ball linebacker at Penn State and was regarded as one of the top players at his position as a prospect. However, he shifted to edge in his final year with the Nittany Lions and catapulted himself into the conversation as the top overall pick after logging 24 tackles for loss and 12.0 sacks across 16 games in 2024. Carter ultimately went third overall to the Giants and joins a very talented group of defensive linemen on the roster. He could open up his career in a rotation with Kayvon Thibodeaux, but there's no doubt he'll find his way onto the field and should be plenty impactful. In the context of dynasty leagues, Carter could quickly emerge to the heights of elite young options at the position such as Aidan Hutchinson and Travon Walker. Read Past Outlooks
