New Orleans – One of the biggest winners of Super Bowl 2025 has not played snaps in the NFL yet.
Anyone who was revealed as a stacked pass rush of Patrick Mahomes's Kryptonite would have pushed Penn State Edge Rush Abdul Carter into a mock draft.
The overreaction to the Super Bowl is genuine within the NFL, but no since seeing Carter as a top four prospect in the 2025 class after a 40-22 victory over the Eagles' 40-22 chief. 1.
Quarterbacks Come Ward and Chedure Sanders are not prospects. Receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter is a scouting unicorn, but will he have the same impact as a Premier Pass Rusher, even if he plays on either side of the ball (no guarantee)?
“There was nothing they could do,” said Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams. “We knew they couldn't block us up front. Dawgs everywhere.”
The Chiefs' offensive line featured more than $32 million investments and another blocker that reached that threshold at a free agency next month. Mahomes still hit 11 times and fired his career-high six times.
“In these games,” coach Andy Reed said, “These lines are expanding a bit.”
Three pass rushes aren't enough for Williams' points.
If you're the Giants who have the No. 3 pick on the field with Brian Burns, Cavon Tibode and Dexter Lawrence, then you'll target Carter, with Michael Strahan, Jason Pierre Paul, Justin Tuck and Osi. Why not try recreating your own blueprint of Umeniola?
Offering the versatility of the linebacker inside, Carter led the Big Ten with 24 tackles, including 12 bags.
He compared Cowboys star Mika Parsons, who has 52.5 sacks in a four-year career, as a defensive chess piece.
“When you win [matchups] “You're still winning, you can just cycle through people,” Eagles linebacker Zach Boun said.
According to statistics for the next generation, the Eagles did not blitz any of Mahomes' 42 dropbacks. He still faces the fifth-highest pressure percentage (38.1%) of his 133-game career.
“I was just running around… they got me crazy,” Edge Rush's Josh Sweatt said after a career-high 2.5 bags. “I'm not thinking about it [Mahomes] I was really upset, but certainly once we start slap them you can see the hints for it. ”
What illuminates the risky lights of the team that chose Carter over Ward or Sanders is that Pass Rush is number one overall in Mahomes' draft class.
Miles Garrett is a future Hall of Fame, but the Browns certainly chose Mahomes (sliding into 10th place after quarterback Bustmitch Trubisky).
Carter's speed of first step should be translated, but if Ward or Sanders pans out, the quarterback Needy team is affected by rid laughs.
“To make a team blitz, you have to be able to beat what they're showing,” Mahomes said. “That's what we didn't do.”
Williams, Bounn and Sweat are all free agents who may have increased their value due to the Super Bowl Ricks script. The same applies to becoming a new employee soon.
