Abdul Carter could join a select group of Penn State legends at the 2025 NFL draft. Carter, Penn State’s star defensive end, has a very real chance of going No. 1 overall when the draft kicks off on April 24.

Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter is in contention for the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, and he has garnered a lofty player comparison as a result. The 6-foot-3, 259-pound EDGE put together a unanimous All-American season with the Nittany Lions as a junior, leading the nation in tackles for loss (24) with 12 sacks.

During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," NFL draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah called Abdul Carter the best player in April's NFL draft:

Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren lead a contingent of five former Penn State football players invited to the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. The week-long NFL job fair will take place Feb. 24-March 3 at the Indianapolis Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium.

In one simple way, history says edge rusher Abdul Carter is the smart pick for the Tennessee Titans to make at the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Few names in the 2025 NFL Draft come with the recognition Abdul Carter does. The Penn State EDGE defender is a bonafide first-round pick with top-five upside.
