Abdul Carter, the third overall pick in the 2025 draft, struggled early with just 0.5 sacks over the first 12 weeks and multiple disciplinary benching, but showed significant improvement over the final five weeks with 3.5 sacks in four starts, finishing eighth among edge-rushers in fantasy points for the month. Advanced metrics were kinder to Carter than traditional stats: his 21 percent pass rush win rate matched Myles Garrett, and he led the NFL with 48 'quick' pressures (under 2.5 seconds) per NFL Next Gen Stats. The source projects Carter could out-point Brian Burns this season, indicating significant breakout potential.

Edge defender with versatile linebacker capability; athletic profile (6-foot-3, 250 pounds, 33-inch arms, 4.4-second 40 estimated) supports defensive scheme flexibility. Can play as true outside linebacker, drop into space, and play downhill. Part of the Giants' shocking athleticism throughout their second level; contributes to the rare athletic traits that litter their defensive front, giving defensive coordinator enviable depth and options for ways to attack offenses.
