Giants' Abdul Carter: Picked third overall by Giants
The Giants selected Carter (foot) in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, third overall.
Carter (6-foot-3, 250 pounds) was widely considered a viable first overall pick, and at the third pick the former Penn State star could prove a foundational pickup for the Giants defense. Even with substantial investments made in Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, Carter will likely force his way into a three-down role at some point his rookie year, if not immediately. Carter's 12.0 total sacks in 2024 doesn't fully capture how disruptive he was -- a better measure would be his 23.5 tackles for loss, which is a threshold rarely reached. It's possible that the Giants will consider moving Thibodeaux, if only because a talent like Carter can't stay on the bench for long. Although a stress fracture in his foot kept Carter from participating in pre-draft athletic testing, the injury won't require surgery and is considered close to a non-issue.
