Analyst predicts breakout year for Giants’ Abdul Carter with 12 sacks
Summary

ESPN analyst Seth Walder forecasts a successful season ahead for New York Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter. After a rookie year with 4.0 sacks, Carter's impressive 20.7% pass rush win rate and late-season improvement suggest he could dramatically increase his sack total this season. With the addition of fellow pass rusher Arvell Reese, the Giants now have a deep rotation to keep their rushers effective. Carter's performance this coming season could potentially lead to Pro Bowl recognition if he meets or exceeds the anticipated sack total.
