Edge Rusher Abdul Carter from the Penn State is traded as one of the top talents for the upcoming NFL Draft. An investigation into the start of the scouting combine then showed a foot injury that caused unrest. Now he gave an update himself.
As the upcoming NFL star himself confirmed to “ESPN”, the injury has turned out to be less bad. An operation, according to the doctors, is not necessary.
The injury is a stress reaction of the right foot, but a timely healing is likely. For example, Carter should be able to stand on the pitch on March 28th at Pro Day.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus does not believe that this injury could reduce the Draft Stock of Carter. The experienced player advisor sees the injury as a “non-factor”.
“I could not be more confident that this will not be a factor if it is drafted,” said Rosenhaus on Thursday. “He will deliver a show at his Pro Day,” the agent is certain.
NFL: The shoulder of Carter also damages
Even before his foot injury, a sporting appearance at the combine was unlikely. Finally, Carter dragged a shoulder injury from College Football Playoff to the offseason.
It remains to be seen whether this injury will have an impact on the draft. The teams were able to get at least their own picture with medical tests as part of the combine. Carter, as well as for interviews, was available for this.
In any case, he would choose the first pick in the draft, Carter said confidently, especially since he said he was already 90 percent again at a fitness stand.
“I have the feeling that I am the best player in the country and the best player should be selected first,” he said with a view to the draft. “This is due to the work that I did with my father, who trained me, and all the victims I brought. I know that I am the best,” says Carter extremely confident.
