Abdul Carter Defensive Rookie of the Year? Schoen Talks About the Future!

Is Abdul Carter destined to become the next superstar for the New York Giants? In this segment from 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates, Drew and Rob break down why the hype is growing around the Giants’ No. 3 overall pick. From Joe Schoen’s recent comments on the Up & Adams podcast to a bold prediction by former NFL star Shawne Merriman on Good Morning Football, the buzz around Abdul Carter is impossible to ignore. Merriman even declared, “I believe Abdul Carter is going to be the Defensive Rookie of the Year,” citing Carter’s explosiveness and instinctive playmaking.

Schoen gave fans a deeper look into Carter’s work ethic, leadership, and fit in Shane Bowen’s evolving defense. Carter has been the first to arrive at workouts, showing the same relentless drive that got him drafted so high. Schoen also gave insight into how the Giants plan to utilize Carter alongside Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux to create a dominant, versatile front.

But that’s not all—Dru Phillips praised cornerback Deonte Banks' offseason growth, noting that fans are going to see “a different Tae” in 2025. There’s also movement on the offensive side, with wide receiver Gabe Davis visiting the Giants. As Jordan Raanan hinted, there’s real momentum for a reunion with Daboll and Schoen, who know Davis well from their days in Buffalo.
This segment also covers Schoen’s vision for the upcoming season, his thoughts on the tough early schedule featuring divisional matchups, and the mindset inside the locker room. He didn’t hold back about his excitement for second-year players like Tyler Nubin and Phillips, new veterans like Jevon Holland and Paulson Adebo, and how the mix of youth and leadership can elevate the Giants' defense.

We also touch on the team’s future at quarterback with Jaxson Dart. Schoen spoke about the collaborative process that led to drafting Dart, his fire and passion, and how his competitiveness and toughness can help unify the entire roster, not just the offense.
