Abdul Carter's journey to the top of the NFL draft has been nothing short of remarkable.

For two years, he was a source of stress for opposing coaches. When he moved to Penn State, he requested a position change to defensive end. With the support of the coaching staff, this move proved successful. Carter became an All-American and is now expected to be a top-five pick.

He arrived as a highly-rated recruit and wore the famed No. 11 jersey with pride. Carter is known for his dedication and cerebral approach, both on the field and in his love for chess.

His outstanding performances last season led to a soaring draft stock, making him a top prospect in the eyes of many analysts.
