Before his name was officially called at the 2025 NFL Draft, Abdul Carter experienced a moment of confusion. As the second overall pick was being announced, Carter received a phone call claiming to be from the Jacksonville Jaguars, telling him he was about to be selected. It turned out to be a prank. “It’s unfortunate that these private numbers are getting to the people making the prank calls,” said Carter’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus. “Abdul and I knew it was BS and didn’t even tell his family about the call.” Moments later, the real call came—from the New York Giants—confirming his spot as the No. 3 overall pick.
With the 2025 NFL Draft just days away, the Cleveland Browns are expected to select Travis Hunter, the versatile Colorado wide receiver and cornerback, with the second overall pick. Several sources have confirmed this potential move, which would clear the way for Penn State’s Abdul Carter to land with the Giants. Hunter, a reigning Heisman winner, has been clear about his desire to continue playing both ways at the NFL level, even suggesting he might sit out if forced into a single position. However, with the Browns’ apparent willingness to let him play both offense and defense, this dream could soon become a reality for Hunter.
In other draft news, Shedeur Sanders, Hunter’s teammate and quarterback at Colorado, has become one of the most polarizing figures in the draft process. Scouts are struggling to get an unbiased read on Sanders, with many attributing the challenge to the influence of his father, Deion Sanders, who also serves as his coach. Deion’s dual role as both a father and a Hall of Fame NFL player has made it difficult for NFL personnel to gain a clear understanding of Shedeur’s prospects.
Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter is one of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft and has visits scheduled with four teams holding top-four picks: the Titans, Browns, Giants, and Patriots. While each team has a reason to consider him, the Giants seem the least likely to draft him, given their pressing need for a quarterback. However, if they do select Carter, it could cast doubt on the future of current edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Rumors suggest that Thibodeaux could be a trade target for the Carolina Panthers, who are looking to strengthen their defense. A potential deal involving Thibodeaux could give the Giants additional draft assets, possibly setting them up to acquire a quarterback in 2026. However, keeping Thibodeaux and pairing him with Carter and Brian Burns could also be a viable strategy, ensuring the Giants maintain a surplus of defensive talent rather than letting key players go.
