Height: 6-foot-2 | Weight: 219 pounds

Pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

Height: 6-foot-3 | Weight: 250 pounds

2024 Stats: 16 games, 68 tackles (43 solo), 12.0 sacks, 23.5 tackles for loss (led the nation), 2 forced fumbles, 4 passes defensed

Accolades: Unanimous All-American (2024), Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year (2024), Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year (2024), 2x First-Team All-Big Ten (2023, 2024), Second-Team All-Big Ten (2022)

"It's hard not to see some Micah Parsons in Carter, who not only wears the same No. 11 but also pops off the screen nearly every play due to being a rare caliber athlete. If he can get even stronger, he has All-Pro potential as a player worthy of a top-five pick."
