We are back from Giants Camp with the guy who I think is being talked about the absolute most.

0:39.9

First round pick, future superstar Abdul Carter. Abdul, thank you very much for coming on w f and today how are you men i'm good how you're all doing fantastic

0:44.4

how's it feel uh you go from big time college football the hype of my going one two three where

0:50.2

am i going you're a giant now you're an nfl training camp how's it going so far? I feel like it's going good. I'm having fun out here. Just learning. Learning playing with the defense, knowing my teammates more. And we all just grind again better one day at a time. Yeah. How are you handling the expectation that's, I mean, obviously thrown on any first rounder, but in particular you? I embrace it a little bit, but also try not to think about it too much. I'm out here working as training camp. This is time to get better. Learn your plays, getting a playbook, get in shape. So that's how I'm focusing on. Then once the games get here, that's what I turn my attention. Right. How would you describe your rushing style or just your defensive how you play style?

1:28.7

Definitely aggressive. I try to control the pace. I try to attack, make whoever I'm going

1:33.3

against React Off of Meeting. From there, I got my go-to moves. I got my counters off

1:37.2

that. Right. So when you look at Brian Burns, who is here and Kvon, who's already here,

1:42.3

you guys have plenty of edge rushing power. How do you see yourself fitting in, or how have you been fitting in in the first couple weeks of training camp? Yeah, I try to learn from them, Burns, Dex, Tibado. They all try to teach me little things. I try to pick up things, not even just on the field, off the field, their routine, how they get ready for practice, things like that. So they've been helping me a lot and I'm thankful for them right so when you when you talk about

2:03.8

getting ready for practice I think so much of what I think the lay fan doesn't see is how much you have to

2:09.9

study right how much you have to dig into the opponent in particular and then what exactly Shane

2:16.0

wants you to do Bowen wants you to do so how have you

2:18.6

handled all of that because I imagine it's very different than what you did in college it's not

2:23.2

it's not too much I feel like as an outside linebacker our job not too complicated most of the

2:28.0

times we're going forward we rushing and we're attacking but also we got a dropping coverage no little

2:31.5

details but it's not that hard for me especially when I got guys like kT and Burns helping me out. Everybody helped me out what I need to do, so I'm pretty good right now. You got coverage skills? For sure. I could do everything. It's funny you say that because, I mean, I imagine you'll be lined up everywhere, you know, in the bubble, you know, on the edge, sometimes maybe even down at the tackle on a three technique or something like that, depending on the rushing situations. How can you best be utilized? Everywhere. Yeah, wherever my coaches need me, I feel like I can line up. I definitely feel best off the edge. Wherever my coaches need me, that's where I'm going to play. So I envision this. You tell me where I'm wrong because you're the only one that knows the answer. You call up Lawrence Taylor and you're like L.T. Hey, what's up, bro? I want your number. And L.T.'s like, shut up, but he hangs up on you. How did the conversation go walk me through every part of it because I'm fascinated? Yeah, definitely didn't go like that. Yeah, I called him. I got to talk to him. I got to introduce myself.

3:26.1

I didn't even talk about the number one I first called him.
