On Friday morning, the Penn State product Carter posted a picture on his social media accounts.

The photo showed New York Giants Hall of Fame linebacker legend Lawerence Taylor.

The snap appeared to be a poster from the Giants’ facility.

Big Blue hosted Carter for a top 30 visit on Friday.

Fans believed that Carter hinted that commissioner Roger Goodell will be call his name when the Giants are on the board with the third overall pick.

“You’ll be the next Giants great,” one wrote.

“He’s seen the light!!!! Welcome to NY,” another commented.

“Sure seems like he wants to be a Giant to me….” a third added.

Carter was thought of as a probable No. 1 overall pick by the Tenesee Titans.

But quarterback Cam Ward is seen as the likely top pick in this draft class.

Nonetheless, Carter is expected to be taken in the top three, either by the Cleveland Browns at No. 2 or the following selection, which is owned by the Giants.

Two-way Colorado Buffaloes star Travis Hunter is also a potential top-three pick.

Carter’s coming off a season in which he posted 12 sacks and 24 tackles for loss in 16 games for the Nittany Lines.

But there had been injury concerns about the defender.

Carter had a stress fracture in his right foot, and he missed the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana, in February.

Luckily, a recent report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed that Carter went back to Indy for a recheck on his injury, and it showed that his foot is healing and no surgery will be needed.

Carter is confident that his foot is healing and won’t need an operation.

The Philadelphia native and the rest of the draft prospects will prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft, which will begin on April 24.
