All eyes were on Abdul Carter and the New York Giants on Saturday afternoon in Week 2 of the preseason as they hosted the New York Jets. After an impressive NFL preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills a week ago, Carter - the former No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft - did what he could to hype up his fans, posting a Star Wars video on his social media to build the hype.
Unfortunately, things played out differently against the Jets. In the first half of the game, Carter had his first big "welcome to the NFL" moment, getting chipped to the ground by TE Stone Smartt, and then pancaked by right tackle Jay Tufele.
For someone who stands 6-foot-3, 250 pounds, it was a rather surprising thing to see, especially as talented as Carter is.
