Shortly after the New York Giants selected Penn State product Abdul Carter with the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, the discussion quickly ensued about what number he would wear.

Well, for what it’s worth, Thibodeaux doesn’t sound worried about Carter — who the Giants just drafted third overall — eventually taking his job. Thibodeaux said Tuesday he is “super excited” about the Giants picking Carter. “I think he’s a great player,” Thibodeaux said. “We can use him in a lot of different ways.”

When the Giants made edge rusher Abdul Carter the third overall pick in the 2025 draft, many wondered whether it would impact the team's plans for 2022 first-round edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.
