"You see the explosiveness obviously rushing the passer, Bowen said on Thursday ahead of the Giants' season opener on Sunday against the Commanders down in Landover. He's a really good athlete, too. He can bend, the flexibility, everything that comes with it, which we've all seen from Penn State. Drafted No. 3 overall, Carter was considered by many to be the best overall athlete available and one who can turn a game on its head in an instant."
"I think there's a violence to him, Bowen continued. Like the explosiveness comes out in that form too, which is probably a little bit more than what I was expecting, to be honest. He's done everything we've asked of him, continues to try to improve, continues to practice hard. So excited about him. Excited to see him out there Sunday."
Abdul Carter, drafted No. 3 overall out of Penn State, displays elite explosiveness, flexibility and bending ability as a pass rusher. Preseason flashes showed him lining up on both edges and defeating offensive linemen with powerful, varied moves. The regular season removes snap-count limits, increasing his on-field impact and opportunities to make game-changing plays. Carter exhibits a violent, explosive finish and consistent work ethic in practice. His first regular-season challenge is facing a Commanders team coming off an NFC Championship run with mobile quarterback Jayden Daniels, requiring coordinated rushes alongside Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns.
