Chicago was one of the busiest teams at the start of the free agency and strengthened its offensive line to support quarterback Caleb Williams. If the Bears are now aiming to bolster their defense, Carter would be an ideal pick.
However, the Bears are reportedly targeting a top running back in the first round of this year's draft. There is also the possibility of Carter being drafted before Chicago's turn.
Carter began his collegiate career at Penn State in 2022. Across three years with the program, he recorded 126 tackles, 23.0 sacks, 13 passes defended, five forced fumbles and one interception. During the 2024 season, he had 68 tackles (43 solo), 12 sacks, two forced fumbles and four passes defended, winning the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award.
Abdul Carter's draft stock has reportedly fallen since he opted out of physical drills at scouting combine
Abdul Carter did not perform at the scouting combine this year. He skipped the physical drills since he was recovering from a shoulder injury that he suffered during the College Football Playoff. During the medical testing at the combine, Carter reportedly had a stress reaction in his foot as well.
The Penn State star was initially tipped as the top pick for this year. However, due to his injuries and the fact that he did not perform at the combine, Carter's stock has reportedly fallen over the past month or so.
Nonetheless, many still believe that Carter is a top-10 pick for this year, and it will be interesting to see where he lands in the big league.
