Moving around during OTAs
Carter has been used in various roles during OTAs as the Giants try to balance his playing time with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Burns and Thibodeaux are the nominal starters at outside linebacker, but the Giants deployed numerous packages featuring all three pass rushers, including some sets in which Carter shifted inside. The third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft also got some reps with the second-team defense, including one on which Carter sacked Jameis Winston.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Jersey number decision made
Carter, who was previously rebuffed by Giants legends Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor regarding his requests to wear their retired numbers, decided on No. 51 on Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie third overall pick out of Penn State had asked Taylor about wearing his No. 56 and had also contemplated Simms' No. 11, the number Carter had worn in college, after Taylor rejected his request. However, Simms' family discouraged the retired signal-caller from saying yes as well, so Carter landed on No. 51 after deciding he'd take one digit from each of the two retired numbers.
