Thursday April 24, we will know who will be the overall choice n ° 1 in 2025 NFL draft As the countdown is officially on for the largest night of Nfl Dissection. This year, there are some favorites who could be called on stage first to Green Bay, Wisconsin, but a player feels that he deserves it the most. Abdul Carter, the Penn State star defensive end, is convinced that it is the best perspective this offseason.
“I have the impression of being the best player in the country, and the best player should be selected n ° 1,” said Carter, which is the overall perspective n ° 2 on CBSSports.com, on CBS Sports HQ.
Tennessee currently has the first choice, and Carter thinks that it should be a titan.
“They have the choice n ° 1, and I want to be the n ° 1 choice,” he said. “This is the ultimate goal.”
Supporting himself, the 21 -year -old explained why he believes that he should be the first in April: “I would just say that my impact on the game, my versatility. I can play several positions and the most important thing for me is that I present myself when it matters most.”
Carter only a year on the edge, but despite the lack of time at the post, he was still at the top of his game. Carter says that this ability not only to change where he is on the ground, but to do so at such a high level, is rare.
“This is another reason why I have the impression of being the best player in the country. Just me in my first year in a new position, I have the impression that no one really did this before at this level,” said Carter. “To have a new position and be a first unanimous team All-American, dominating the way I did it, having an impact on the game as I did.”

The All-American recorded 12 bags in 2024 and attributes its movement of “gold rush” as a reason for its collegial success.
Whoever writes him, be it the titans or someone else, he is open to work with the team on which position he should play.
“Certainly a defensive end or a rusher on board, but I have the impression of being able to play wherever my coaches need,” said Carter. “Wherever they feel the need, that’s where I will play.”
Carter still rehabilitates a shoulder injury he suffered at the end of the season and will not train in the combine harvester, but plans to train in the professional day of Penn State on March 28. He is convinced that he will soon be at full capacity.
“I’m starting to warm up.” I think I’m about 90% right now. I feel like next month, it will be very close to 100. “

Although some may be concerned about the fact that Carter is undersized in pros, the defender of 6 feet 3 inches and 248 pounds is not.
“I have never been too small for anything all my life,” he said. “It’s all about heart for me.”
There is a chance that he will go to his favorite team, the rival of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants of New York, who choose N ° 3. Carter puts his fandom birds behind and just wants to prove to his new team that he is able to help them win.
“Wherever I go, I want to win it,” he said.
