The New York Giants have found a special talent.
They desperately needed a quarterback, yet they chose to take the best player available instead.
Notably, he might be the best player in his class.
Abdul Carter was on the field for just a handful of snaps in the preseason opener vs. the Buffalo Bills, but he already looks like an absolute stud.
That’s why Micah Parsons took to X to congratulate his fellow Penn State star:
They asked me if Abdul could be a another great ! I told them he could be the best one! https://t.co/JonTy78MVu

Carter has drawn comparisons to Parsons, although the Dallas Cowboys star’s positional versatility gives him a slight edge in the competition.
You couldn’t go wrong either way, though.
Parsons has made the headlines this offseason for his lack of a contract extension, and he’s now formally requested to be traded.
He claims to be dealing with a back injury to avoid practicing, but the timing of that injury seems odd, to say the least.
It’s hard to imagine the Cowboys trading him to a divisional rival, but given their Penn State ties, perhaps he would be more than willing to team up with Carter in the Big Apple.
That will be a situation to keep a close eye on as we inch closer to the start of the season, which is when the Cowboys usually get their deals done after dragging out negotiations for months.
As for the Giants, they might feel thrilled about landing one of the most impressive defensive prospects the league has seen in a long while, and the rest of the league ought to be scared.
