The New York Giants are considering selecting Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, potentially bolstering their already strong pass-rushing unit that includes Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dexter Lawrence, and Chauncey Golston. General Manager Joe Schoen emphasized the value of having multiple pass rushers, citing flexibility and options in defensive strategies.
Despite concerns about Carter's foot injury, recent tests have shown positive healing progress, with the Giants planning to gather further information before making a decision. Other teams, including the New England Patriots, have also shown interest in Carter, indicating his potential impact in the upcoming draft.
