The Cleveland Browns are riding the high of a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it’s hard not to have an eye on the 2025 NFL draft. And this weekend in College Football there is a big-time matchup between Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter and Minnesota offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery.
Carter, who is seen as a top-five player in this draft class, has been a terror off of the edge ever since entering Big Ten play. In his last seven games, Carter has racked up seven sacks and 32 pressures.
He will look to continue that reign over a potential first round pick in Ersery. Listed at 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds, Ersery is a mammoth of an offensive tackle. He has given up just one sack all season and 12 total pressures.
With needs at both offensive tackle and pass rusher, the Browns should be dialed into this matchup. The Daft on Draft podcast broke down this matchup in their latest episode. Tune in there to hear all about it.
Regardless, could Carter or Ersery be on their way to Cleveland in the 2025 NFL draft?
