Giants' Carter Aims for Defensive Player of the Year

After earning two benchings, recording four sacks, and finishing fifth in Defensive Rookie of Year voting as a rookie, Giants OLB Abdul Carter has a much bigger goal for his second season: "I want to be Defensive Player of the Year." Carter believes this is realistic, citing his process, self-belief, and knowledge of his capabilities. "I know what I'm capable of. I can be whoever I want to be," Carter said. The third overall pick acknowledged issues with tardiness in his rookie year but stated he has learned from those experiences and is ready to move forward. slot-chickenroad.org
