Abdul Carter drops huge Giants hint day before 2025 NFL Draft

Abdul Carter drops huge Giants hint day before 2025 NFL Draft

Throw away that Eagles gear.

Penn State star pᴀss rusher and noted Eagles fan Abdul Carter said he has the best feeling about the Giants entering Thursday’s 2025 NFL Draft.

The Giants are widely projected to pick Carter at No. 3 overall, including in The Post Steve Serby’s final mock draft.

“Definitely New York right now, but we’ll see what happens (Thursday),” Carter said Wednesday in Green Bay of which team he has the best feeling about. “I think (the meetings) went well. Definitely got a good feeling with them, we’ll see what happens tomorrow.”

The top three picks are coming into focus with the draft a little more than 24 hours away.

Cam Ward is slated to go to the тιтans with the first pick, two-way phenom Travis Hunter seems headed to the Browns at No. 2 and the Giants are projected by many to forego their glaring long-term quarterback need and add to their stout pᴀss rush by drafting Carter.

There’s always the chance the Giants could draft Shedeur Sanders, but the latest rumors and betting odds have it more likely he falls to the Steelers at pick No. 21 or to the second round.

Carter would provide the Giants another potentially fearsome pᴀss rusher to add to Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Ironically, the Philadelpia native would be tasked with helping the Giants attempt to finally turn the tide against the rival Eagles.

Carter played at La Salle College High School in Philadelphia before starring for the Nittany Lions.

He made it clear, Giants rumors or not, that his hometown means “everything” to him.

“It’s where I come form, my roots and where my family from, so it means a lot,” Carter said.

Giants fans won’t care where Carter grew up if he performs for them, although he offered reᴀssuring words for those concerned about his loyalties.

Carter tallied 23 sacks across his three seasons, including 12 this past season while guiding Penn State to the College Football Playoff semifinals.

“That’d be dope,” he said of playing in New York. “But obviously once I go to New York, I’m all New York. I’m going to have to leave Philly behind.”
