Abdul Carter will visit Giants in pared-down process before 2025 NFL Draft

Abdul Carter will visit Giants in pared-down process before 2025 NFL Draft

Abdul Carter has his own Final Four, and the Giants are part of it. 

Carter only will take four pre-draft visits, SI.com reported.

He will visit the facilities of the Giants and Patriots, after having already traveled to meet with the тιтans and Browns. 

Not coincidentally, the тιтans, Browns, Giants and Patriots hold the respective top four picks in the draft.

Carter’s draft floor is expected to be No. 4 — and that’s only if both quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders and receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter all go ahead of the premier pᴀss-rusher in the class. 

The Giants didn’t have to wait to meet with Carter, however.

They reportedly had his undivided attention Friday, after he did not work out at Penn State’s pro day while recovering from a stress fracture in his foot and a shoulder injury. 

“Still recovering my shoulder,” Carter told reporters in State College, Pa. “Pretty much 100 percent now.” 

In regards to his foot, Carter said he found out about the injury during medical exams at the NFL Combine. 

“I never had symptoms, no pain,” Carter said while ruling out surgery. “Doesn’t bother me now. Didn’t bother me during the season.”

Carter dined Thursday with Browns’ brᴀss, including ownership, but was expected to meet only with the Giants’ scouting contingent after all his teammates’ testing was complete.

General manager Joe Schoen visited Penn State’s campus during the fall, too. 

Carter did not work out at the NFL Combine and originally was expected to participate in Pro Day.

It didn’t happen, which could raise some red flags about the timing of his recovery. 

Drew Rosenhaus, Carter’s agent, told ESPN that his client “may still do a workout for teams sometime in mid-April.”s
