Alright, let’s talk about a DE who’s been wrecking offenses like it’s his full-time job—because, well, it kinda is. Abdul Carter ain’t just another glorified top defensive prospect. He’s a walking, talking, game-flipping nightmare for quarterbacks. And with the 2025 NFL Draft creeping up, his name is ringing louder than church bells on a Sunday morning. But here’s where it gets really interesting—ESPN just confirmed Carter’s draft fate, and an $8.3 billion NFL franchise is now on high alert.

On November 26th, ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller took to NFL Live and let loose on just how lethal Abdul Carter is. And trust me, he wasn’t holding back. “Yeah, he’ll make a big one. And I know the Micah Parsons comparison is one that I’ve made, is one a lot of people make. I don’t think it’s going to be like Micah Parsons, where he plays two positions, right on the gate. I think he’s going to come into the NFL as an edge rusher, ideally, maybe in the wide nine, like you said, in a 3-4 defense. He can play an outside linebacker. I think he has double-digit sack ability.”

But wait—it gets better. Miller didn’t just stop at hyping up Carter’s game. He doubled down, saying, “I absolutely agree with him. He is by far the best player in this draft and I think the rookie who has the best traits to come in, booger, and be that day-one guy that the Titans need next to Jeffrey Simmons.”

Abdul Carter going No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans? Not even a little shocking. The man is a certified beast and literally the closest thing to Micah Parsons in this draft class. We’re talking about a guy who was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year for a reason. Abdul Carter’s stats are ain’t for the weak, man’s literally ran the Happy Valley defense, 42 games played, 35 starts, and his stat line? Insane: 172 total tackles, 23 sacks, 39.5 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles, and 13 pass breakups. The man doesn’t just tackle quarterbacks—he haunts them in their sleep.

And Carter? Yeah, he knows exactly what time it is. The Philly native wants that No. 1 pick, and he’s making sure the world knows it. In an interview with ProFootballTalk, he made it crystal clear: “It’s very important for me. That’s one of the goals I made before the season. It’s something I’ve always talked about. It’s what I’ve worked for.” Look, the Tennessee Titans hold the No. 1 pick, and while there’s always the quarterback talk, Carter isn’t hearing it. “I feel like I’m the best player in the country, and the best player should be drafted No. 1.” No hesitation. No doubt. Just pure confidence.

The word on the street? Tennessee Titans already had a word with Abdul Carter. ESPN’s Turron Davenport spilled the news on X, tweeting, “Abdul Carter said he met with the #Titans and felt the meeting went well. He liked the meeting, knows they have the No.1 pick, and wants to be the top guy picked.” The Draft Network doubled down, quoting Carter: “Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter on the possibility of joining the Tennessee Titans: ‘They have the No. 1 pick and I want to be the No. 1 pick.’” Carter and Jeffrey Simmons on the same defense would literally feed families in Tennessee. But hold up—there’s another whole $8.3 billion franchise watching this whole thing unfold. And if things line up just right, Carter might end up right where his heart truly belongs…

Abdul Carter’s Philly dream?

The 2025 Super Bowl champs. The city of brotherly love. Philadelphia Eagles is the team with one of the nastiest defenses in the NFL. Could Abdul Carter’s future be in Philly? Well, if you listen closely, he might have already given us a clue.

In a recent interview with Bucknuts 247Sports, Carter dropped a little hint. When asked about the Eagles, he said, “I got to really enjoy my last year being a fan, you know, being from Philly—born and raised, supported Eagles for my whole life. Got to take my dad to the Super Bowl, just enjoying being a fan one last year.” Wait… one last year? What does that even mean? Is he hinting at playing for the Eagles next season? Or is he talking about going against them? Is it his last year as a Philly supporter before going 1st overall?

Now, let’s be real—the Eagles landing Carter would take some serious moves. They’re sitting at the 32nd pick in the draft. That’s just the price of winning the Super Bowl. No team in NFL history has ever won the Super Bowl and then traded up for the No. 1 pick the following draft. It’s just not how things work. Winning teams usually pick at the end of the first round and move all the way up to No. 1. Boy, that would take a mountain of assets.

But imagine this—Carter, Jalen Carter, Milton Williams, Zack Baun, and the coldest white boy in the game, Cooper DeJean, all on the same defense. The Eagles already have a stacked roster, but adding Abdul Carter to that mix? Man, that would be downright illegal.

But the reality? The chances of Philly making that move are slim. Trading up from 32 to 1? Not impossible, but not likely either. The Titans are in full rebuild mode and need a cornerstone defender. And Carter? He’s more than ready to be that dude.

So whether it’s Tennessee, Philly, or somewhere else—one thing is clear: Abdul Carter isn’t just another draft prospect. He’s a walking problem for every quarterback in the league. And on draft night? He’s got one mission—being the first player to shake Roger Goodell’s hand.
