Week 2 of training camp continues for the New York Giants, and with that, the team has a first-hand view of their most recent number three overall draft pick, Abdul Carter, and his true ability. <\/p>
Carter, who was the first linebacker off the board in this year’s draft, was at one point of time even the favorite to be the number one overall pick. The dominant pass rusher was a top name heading into the draft after a 12-sack performance from 16 games with the Penn State Nittany Lions. <\/p>
Plenty of comparisons have been made of another great pass rusher, from Penn State, the Cowboys’<\/a> Micah Parsons, but Carter is eager to stand out and carve his own identity. Chasing his dreams from training camp itself, the Philadelphia native has already started winning over his teammates, as evidenced by the praise heaped on him by Russell Wilson and Malik Nabers.<\/p>
