New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter feels he is ready to contend for an individual honor in his second NFL season. "I want to be Defensive Player of the Year, for sure," Carter told reporters Friday about his goals (h/t SNY). When asked if he thought he could be named DPOY in 2026, Carter answered, "Absolutely." Coach John Harbaugh said Thursday the Giants are planning to set up Carter for more opportunities to be a "complete player" during his second pro season. All those things that he's determined to do, I've heard him say it many times, to be a complete player."
