Abdul Carter had the best performance of his young NFL career in the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Abdul Carter is no longer a sleeping Giant. He showed up Sunday as an awakened Giant, the player the Giants expected to wreak havoc as the third-overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. “I feel like it was a statement,” Carter said after Commanders 29, Giants 21, “but it would have been more satisfying if we got the win.”

It hasn't been a dream rookie season for Carter, but games like Sunday's show what the linebacker is capable of.

Carter's sack was actually a strip sack of Commanders QB Marcus Mariota. After the game, veteran pass rusher Brian Burns referred to the game as Carter's "coming out party." Carter has had an odd rookie season, not even accounting for the benching.

Abdul Carter is urged to make one major on-field change to fix his lack of production for the New York Giants.

It was a lesson in NFL humility but after a pair of benchings, New York Giants rookie Abdul Carter has traded tardiness for extra study.
