"The Jets and the Giants wound up doing pretty well early last season, all things considered. Carter led all rookies in pressures (66), QB hits (18) and hurries (43)."
"Although Carter didn't live up to the hype during his rookie season, we also have to remember that he went to the Giants, who had a dysfunctional season that included head coach firings and a quarterback carousel."
The NFL Draft often prompts analysts to reconsider past selections. The Patriots have recently improved their draft outcomes, selecting left tackle Will Campbell with the fourth overall pick. In contrast, the Jets could have significantly enhanced their roster by choosing pass rusher Abdul Carter instead of offensive tackle Armand Membou. Carter excelled in his rookie season, leading all rookies in pressures and QB hits, despite challenges faced by the Giants. The re-draft highlights the disparity in draft success between the Patriots and their divisional rivals.
