It seems increasingly likely that with him no. 3 Pick in the 2025 draft, the giants will select one of the two players: the Abdul Carter edge corridor or the corner/open receiver Travis Hunter.
Both are impeccable perspectives, but there are at least some “concerns” “attached to both.
For Carter, it is your physical health.
He appeared at the NFL Scouting combines in Indianapolis at the end of February, and his medical check -up revealed a stress reaction on his right foot.
He did not participate in any drill in the harvester and chose not to undergo surgery.
The teams thought Carter could exercise on March 28 at the Penn State Pro Day, but a persistent shoulder injury kept him out of the countryside.
It was an injury that emerged for the first time on the eve of the New Year, when Carter played against Boise State in the Bowl party playoff game.
Carter last Friday was in the installation of the giant team, and medical updates were part of the visit.
“Hello, it feels good,” said the general manager of the giants Joe Schoen. “He’s exercising. He’s running. I don’t think there is much space for the fang there.”
For Hunter, the teams must find out what they want to do with him, since the winner of the Heisman 2024 trophy is consulted the best corner and the open receiver in this draft.
He is inflexible about playing both ways in the NFL, stating that he did it at a high level in Colorado.
How inflexible? He recently told CBS Sports, “I will never play football again” If the team that selects it determines that it must focus on playing on the offensive or defense.
At the beginning of the evaluation process, the giants saw Hunter as a corner who could also obtain snapshots in the open receiver.
They did not see him as two players in one.
These priorities could have changed the more the giants will study one of the most talented and versatile players to enter any draft.
“It’s fun to see him,” Schoen said. “It is unique: the skills of the ball, the ability of the route and also the ability to go to the other side and play in the corner. You do not see that time, if these guys cannot catch or cannot play receiver, there everything. It is difficult to keep it out of the field.
With the signature of Adebo added to Donte Banks, Dru Phillips and Cor’Dale Flott, the shoe feels good with its corners. With Darius Slayton’s new firm, Schoen sees Malik Clouds, Wan’dale Robinson and Slayton as a strong receptor trio.
“We are in a unique position, that we have three good receivers and that we like our high school at this time,” Schoen said. “Then our situation will be unique. I would not be afraid to play [Hunter] On both sides of the ball.“
The physical demands of raising or 100 snapshots in a game would be huge.
The shoe is aware of that, but it sounds more or how Hunter could learn to excel in the corner and the open receiver at the next level.
“For me, what will have to be resolved is the mental part, because the crime is very difficult to learn,” Schoen said. “And then the defense in a weekly base, it is not the university where, he hears, these are our basic plays, this is our basic defense.
“There are many more things of type of week by week that our coaches are doing. How much can you mentally handle where you can leave and execute and trust you to do your job? Physically, you would go to doubt the child.”
Discovering what is the best with Hunter could be a debatable point when it comes to giants. Browns is likely to select Hunter with selection No. 2.
