Abdul Carter does not have to wait long for the proclamation of his name in this year’s NFL Draft. The Edge Rusher also apparently already knows which team will ultimately hire.
In most mock drafts they take New York Giants Carter with her third pick from the board and the 21-year-old revealed on Wednesday that he also expects the G-Men to recruit.
“Definitely New York at the moment,” said Carter when reporters on Wednesday to his most likely landing spot in the NFL Draft (from 1 a.m. live at nitro or Free livestream on RTL+) addressed. “But we’ll see what will happen tomorrow.” However, his paths often crossed themselves with those of the Giants leadership.
In March, Carter met at the NFL Scouting Combine with representatives of the NFC-East representative. He then visited a total of four teams as part of his draft preparations – among them were the Giants again. With Head Coach Brian Daboll The Defense player met for breakfast on top of that at the beginning of the month.
A commitment to the Big Apple would not be surprising, especially since Carter could stay on the east coast, even if he had to leave his beloved home (Philadelphia). “That would be great,” the all-American confirmed in terms of a possible move to the city that never sleeps. “But of course I am all New York as soon as I’m in New York – I have to leave Philly behind, so let’s see. Philadelphia means everything. I come here. Here are my roots.”
NFL draft: Carter raves about Giants professionals
Carter could hit new roots at the Giants. There he acted on among other things Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burnswith which he would like to cause fear and horror in the NFL. “It will be a blessing to play with these boys. I will compete and we will form the best pass rush in the league,” announced the draft talent.
However, many experts assume that the New York Thibodeaux will trade as soon as they have signed Carter. The latter, on the other hand, spoke out for the whereabouts of his future teammate.
“You can never have enough pass rusher,” said Carter to the journalists present. “Only with this threat you can win championships – with this Pass Rush, with four or five rushing – that’s a good thing.”
