Top NFL Draft Prospect Adbul Carter has a good sense of which team had to choose him on Thursday night.

Carter, 21, was asked by journalists on Wednesday about which team he has the best feeling of.

“Absolute (The) New York (Giants) right now,” Carter said. “But we’ll see what happens tomorrow.”

When asked what it would mean to follow in the footsteps of the previous Penn States Stars Lavar Arrington and Saquon Barkley to be the first round draft of Giants, Carter said, “It would be a blessing.”

“I would very much like to take advantage of this opportunity,” Carter said.

Carter said he thought his meetings with Giants went “well” and that he “certainly had a good feeling with them.”

Tennessee Titans has the total choice # 1 and is expected to be widely selected Miami Quarterback Cam Ward with the top choice. Cleveland Browns has the total election # 2 and seems to favor Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter over Carter.

If Ward and Hunter actually go # 1 and # 2 to the Titans and Browns respectively, Carter would remain on the board of Giants on No. 3 overall.

Carter was the Big Ten’s top defensive player in 2024 with 68 tackles, 23.5 tackles for losses and 12 sacks last season for Penn State. In his career, Carter has 39.5 tackles for losses, 23 sacks and 14 passports defense.

Carter would add what is already a strong Giants defensive front as he would go in with Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence.

Giants would trust Carter to have an immediate influence as they walked 3-14 last season and are out of stars on the guard plan.
