Draft insider's report sparks hope Abdul Carter could fall to Patriots

Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter is still very much in play for the New England Patriots, per NFL draft analyst Todd McShay.

There have been doubts that Carter would fall to the Patriots at No. 4 on the draft board with both the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants possibly in play for the standout pass rusher. However, Carter recently made New England one of his four stops on his top-30 visits.

As McShay noted, that doesn't happen unless Carter and his agent believe he has a chance to sign.
