US EditionESPN: Abdul Carter not participating in Penn State's pro day
- Penn State defensive lineman Abdul Carter, DL44, did not participate in Penn State's pro day on Friday after not testing at the NFL Scouting Combine on February 27, 2025, in Indianapolis, IN at the Indiana Convention Center.
- Carter's absence from workouts is due to an arm/shoulder injury sustained on December 31 in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals against Boise State, as well as a stress reaction in his right foot discovered during medical testing at the NFL Scouting Combine.
- A former linebacker who transitioned to defensive end this season, Carter, a consensus All-America selection and the 2024 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, recorded 68 tackles, led the FBS in tackles for loss, and had 12 sacks in 16 games, totaling 172 career tackles, 41 tackles for loss, and 23 sacks in 42 games over three seasons at Penn State.
- According to Carter's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who informed Adam Schefter of ESPN, Carter is still finishing up rehab for his shoulder injury but may still do a workout for teams sometime in mid-April; Rosenhaus had previously forwarded a medical clearance letter from Dallas Cowboys team physician Dr. Dan Cooper to NFL teams, and Carter opted against surgery to avoid an eight-week recovery.
- Despite the injuries, Carter, who has met with the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants, is projected to be a top draft prospect and possibly the first defensive player selected in the April 24-26 NFL Draft, with the Titans holding the top pick and the Browns holding the second.
