The New York Giants have a new defensive star in town after selecting Penn State edge pass rusher Abdul Carter on Thursday night at the NFL draft.
It's been projected for a while that Carter would land with the Giants in the first round. He met with coach Brian Daboll and the organization earlier this month, which led many NFL analysts to believe that the team's decision was already made up. The Giants were first thought to be interested in Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but their focus shifted after acquiring veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston this offseason.
