Indiana Fever star Sydney Colson reacted to the looks of Abdul Carter's father at the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. Carter, who played in college football as a defensive end for Penn State, was selected by the New York Giants as the third pick in the draft.
Carter's dad, Christopher Carter, was seen at the event with his son, both sporting iced chains together with their outfits. However, the older Carter was spotted wearing an Adidas logo-shaped chain, which sparked reactions online.

WNBA veteran Sydney Colson was one of those who noticed the chain worn by Carter's dad, and she eventually took to X to react.
"Abdul Carter’s daddy got a NIL deal w/ adidas?? #nfldraft," she asked.
Abdul Carter, a Philadelphia native who grew up a fan of the Eagles, was originally a linebacker during his first two years with the Penn State Nittany Lions before playing as a defensive end last season. Standing at 6-foot-3, the Giants likely see him becoming a dominant force in the NFL after an impressive third year in college, where he posted 12 sacks.
Sydney Colson revealed her true feelings about joining the Indiana Fever
Ahead of the 2025 league season, Sydney Colson swapped Las Vegas for Indianapolis to link up with Caitlin Clark and company. The veteran guard spent three seasons with the Aces, where she won the championship in two consecutive years (2022 and 2023).
During her announcement by the Indiana Fever in February 2025, Colson revealed her reasons for choosing the franchise over others.
"I am very excited for this new opportunity with Indiana," she said. "I know several players and coaches from the Fever, and I trust what I know about them. I’m excited to be a part of the vision that the staff has for this team, and I’m ready to get to work."
Since being drafted as the 16th pick by the Connecticut Sun in the 2011 WNBA draft, the 35-year-old has come a long way in professional basketball. She has reached the playoffs five times and brings a wealth of experience to Indiana. Now, she hopes to start the 2025 season positively with new head coach Stephanie White.
