New York Giants defensive end Abdul Carter became the talk of the town on social media on Saturday night. Carter shared an Instagram story while suggesting that he was exploring the iconic Las Vegas strip one night before his team's Week 17 clash against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-13).

"Get yo a*s in bed you gotta game to win tomorrow," another added. "Bench him for disciplinary reasons," a third commented.

Here are a few more reactions.

"Bench him for partying too hard," one wrote. "Giants tanking so hard they didn’t give their players curfew in Vegas," another added. "That hangover might just save our franchise tomorrow," a user tweeted.

The Giants (2-13) took Carter with the No. 3 pick in this year's draft.

Earlier this season, Carter was benched for the start of two games because of tardiness and missing team obligations such as walkthroughs.

Earlier in December, Carter said he was trying to be more disciplined after being benched for two games.

"I'm learning a lot in terms of just being a man, being in the NFL, just going through it," Carter said before New York's bye week. "I'm learning a lot and I'm glad I'm going through it so I can be better prepared in the future."

Carter was also criticized by some of his teammates for his disciplinary issues, but the DE later apologized to them.
