PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Abdul Carter is an explosive, dynamic, and twitchy edge defender with elite-level traits. He possesses rare first-step quickness, violent hands, and the ability to bend and flatten at the top of the arc, making him a terror off the edge in both 3-4 and 4-3 alignments. His transition from off-ball linebacker to EDGE has only expanded his value, as he can drop into coverage or close from depth. Carter projects as a Day 1 starter and scheme-diverse playmaker with Pro Bowl/All-Pro potential.
