NFL First Round Draft Pick Denies Sleeping Through Walk-Through

Abdul Carter has not had the impact most would expect of a first round pick in the NFL Draft. 

Now the New York Giants defensive end is denying a report he slept through a walk-through last week.  

Coming with high expectations

The Giants no doubt envisioned big things from Carter when they used the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on him in April. 

He was the 2024 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year at Penn State and helped the Nittany Lions advance to the semifinals in the College Football Playoff.
