New York intensifies efforts to secure Penn State pass-rusher as injury concerns ease and trade talks with Bears progress.

The New York Giants are strongly considering selecting Penn State’s Abdul Carter with the third pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, viewing him as a key defensive asset.
Recent medical updates confirmed Carter’s foot injury is healing, with no surgery required, alleviating prior concerns about his health.
The Giants are exploring a potential trade with the Chicago Bears involving multiple picks to ensure their position to select Carter.
Carter has shown enthusiasm for joining the Giants, posting a photo of Lawrence Taylor and meeting with head coach Brian Daboll during a pre-draft visit.
