Player comparisons can be annoying for NFL draft prospects looking to make a name for themselves. Perhaps even Abdul Carter is tired of hearing about how similar he is to his good friend Micah Parsons, who sported No. 11 at Penn State a few years before Carter did.
But at least Carter’s player comp list is short, because NFL players aren’t doing what Parsons has done for the Dallas Cowboys since entering the league as a 2021 first-round pick. Carter has the rare double high ceiling of possibly being dominant at multiple positions, edge rusher and off-ball linebacker.
