Abdul Carter Turns Heads with Sleek, Confident Look at NFL Draft image

Abdul Carter made a statement before even hearing his name called. On Thursday, April 24, in a sea of standard suits in Green Bay, the former Penn State edge rusher arrived in a sharp, all black look that stood out.

Carter's look was defined by a long smooth black coat with velvet accents giving him a sleek but upscale edge.

He paired it with matching black pants, dark shades, and a massive “INCRDBL” chain—a nod to his nickname and his confidence heading into the next chapter of his career.

Selected third overall by the New York Giants, Carter isn't just bringing elite pass-rushing talent to the NFL—he’s bringing presence.

After a breakout junior year with 12 sacks and a national-best 23.5 tackles for loss, he capped off the rise with a red carpet appearance that felt effortless but commanding. He was the Defensive Player of the Year in the Big 10.

The fit was a bit flashy, but it was more about tone. Carter is known for being calm, cool, and focused on the field and his Draft Day fit came across the same way.
