It only took six snaps for former Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter to set social media ablaze. He’s been building hype throughout training camp after being selected with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, and the former Nittany Lion didn’t disappoint in the Giants’ first preseason game against the Bills.
