Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter believes he’s the best prospect in the country, and wants to be treated like it.

At his NFL Combine media availability Wednesday, Carter said he thinks he could be drafted with the first overall pick this year. Carter, who will not test at the Combine while recovering from a shoulder injury he sustained at the Fiesta Bowl in January, said he is looking forward to showing off his skills at his Pro Day and contributing to a team that needs his skills.
