Abdul Carter Cards & Plaques

About

Abdul Carter is the New York Giants' young edge rusher and one of the most heralded defensive prospects to enter the NFL in years. Drafted third overall in 2025 out of Penn State — where he was a unanimous All-American with 12 sacks and a nation-high 23.5 tackles for loss in his final college season — Carter immediately took on a meaningful role in a Giants front that already featured Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Dexter Lawrence. His rookie season delivered on the hype. Carter played all 17 games, recorded 4 sacks and 23 quarterback hits (most among all rookies in 2025), set a Giants rookie record with sacks in four consecutive games, and finished fifth in AP Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. He's switching to jersey #3 in 2026 — a nod to his draft slot — and entering year two with a chance to be one of the league's premier pass rushers. The card collector's view Carter's rookie card class is from 2025 — the year he was drafted. His 2025 Panini Prizm rookie is the flagship base card, with the Silver Prizm parallel and rarer color variants driving the chase. His 2025 Panini Contenders Rookie Ticket Auto is the on-card autograph chase, and his pre-NFL Panini college cards from Penn State are also collected. For Giants fans who want to celebrate their new defensive cornerstone without committing to a high-end rookie auto, our Abdul Carter plaques pair licensed Panini cards from his rookie campaign in display-ready formats.
