Abdul Carter's Player Profile

John Kosko - PFF - March 17th: "Carter was the most valuable edge defender in college football in 2024, according to PFF’s wins above average metric."

Dante Lee - The Ringers - March 16th.: "Carter has the highest ceiling of any player in this class, and even though his repertoire of pass-rush moves isn’t even complete yet, his explosiveness and relentless approach to getting after the quarterback should translate well in the pros."

Mel Kiper - ESPN - March 16th: "Carter is versatile and has plenty of experience effectively operating as an off-ball linebacker, helping him crack 60 tackles in three straight seasons at Penn State. But he has now shown the ability to make a dent in opponents' game plans as a pass rusher off the edge, as well."

Jordan Reid - ESPN - Mar. 16th: "Carter started slowly in his first season fully transitioning from off-ball linebacker to the edge, but eventually showed why he's capable of being a 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 defensive end in the NFL."

Danny Kelly - The Ringer - March 5th: "He has outstanding first-step burst and athleticism off the edge, showing good bend and the flexibility to get low, duck under blocks, and knife into the pocket. He’s a twitchy mover, and his stutter-step and hesitation move often leaves offensive linemen flat-footed."
