Football: Carter taken No. 3 overall by Giants in NFL Draft
Abdul Carter, a 6-3, 250-pound edge rusher, has been selected No. 3 overall by the New York Giants in the NFL Draft.
Carter posted 68 total tackles, an FBS-high 24 tackles for loss and 12 sacks for the Nittany Lions this past season. He also had four pass deflections and two forced fumbles.
The Giants didn't necessarily have a need for an edge rusher considering they have the likes of Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux in the mix. Hard for them to pass up on a defensive weapon like Carter, though, especially when that sort of move can add even more depth up front.
