NY Giants OLB Abdul Carter Makes an Interesting Personal Promise  

In 470 career pass rush snaps, Carter finished with 24 sacks, or one sack every 19.58 pass rush attempts. He was also the highest-graded pass-rushing outside linebacker of the 2025 draft class, per Pro Football Focus, finishing with a 92.4 grade and a 23.1% pass-rush win rate.

Carter, who came to the podium after the Giants wrapped up their second day of joint practices with the Jets wearing a hood to cover his growing locks, has come every bit as advertised since joining the Giants. Still, the rookie is also smart enough to know that he hasn’t done anything yet.

“I’m learning a lot,” he said. “Every day, every practice, they’re out here teaching me new things, trying to help me out. I’m just learning everything.”

He’s also becoming more comfortable in what the Giants are asking him to do and working off what his teammates are doing..

“I know my teammates more and am just building that chemistry. I feel like that’s the most important thing,” he said. 

Carter also admitted to being an open book when it comes to learning from teammates like Brian Burns and Dexter Lawrence II.

“(Lawrence) sits right behind me in the meeting room, so I’m always talking with him, trying to get better,” Carter said. “He helps me a lot.”
