Giants really draft losers. We’ll see who has the better season,” one person tweeted.“Only thing you ate was that turf and you must’ve really enjoyed it bc you went there twice,” another Jets fan added.“Getting this mad over a single rep in a preseason games speaks volumes about your insecurity. Pretty embarrassing actually, said another person on X.Carter was the first defensive end selected in this year’s draft and will have a lot of expectations to help a defensive unit which ranked 24th in the NFL last season for yards allowed per game (346.8). He’s expected to make them a stronger pass rush in 2025, on a team that finished ninth in team sacks in 2024 (45).jets west @jetstothewestLINK@1NCRDB1 you got eaten up by a tight end who is not known for blocking 😂Frankie V @FrankieVitzLINK@1NCRDB1 Abdul you know Stone used to be a QB ...LandonTengwall @LandonTengwallLINK@1NCRDB1 I know first hand how Abdul gets his lick back 😂 idk when Jets and Giants play next, but Abdul ain’t gonna forgetSmartt signed as an undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022 and was known for his athleticism with the potential to be a downfield threat.

He was a backup tight end with the Chargers who signed with the Jets in March.Saturday’s game ended in a 31-12 victory for the Giants over the Jets.Carter is living up to the hypeWhile Carter had a couple of times where he struggled to get pressure Saturday, his reviews thus far have been relatively positive, particularly against the Buffalo Bills, playing six snaps on that occasion and rushing the quarterback in half of those occasions.By all accounts, he’s more than lived up to the hype surrounding him since the draft, generating plenty of excitement among Giant fans and garnering plenty of positive reviews from his coaches.
