In 2025, draft analysts said the first two draft picks felt like the locks before Thursday night. Tennessee will choose the QB cam ward and the Browns will take the WR/CB Travis Hunter. This makes the Giants Queue #3 and offers several options. Will they take away the best players, trade or their own QB? Abdul Carter of Penn State spoke to the media on Wednesday.
He was asked which team he had the best feeling for entering the draft. Carter said without hesitation: “Absolutely New York”, referring to the Giants. At the same media conference, Carter was asked what would happen if he had Philadelphia roots in New York. Carter replied: “Once I go to New York, I'm all New York-I'm going to have to leave Philadelphia.”
Abdul Carter is not shy about his connection with the giants. He made several visits with the team throughout the draft. Carter, the highest-edge stormtrooper of the class this year, won a dominant senior season in 2024. His 24 tackle losses resulted in the entire country. He also recorded 12.0 sacks, 68 tackles, and was appointed All-American. Carter compares with Micah Parsons of the cowboy. They both wore #11 at Penn State and played in a similar soccer style. We'll see if the Giants pick the Hunters on Thursday.
