The 2025 NFL Draft picks have not followed the path taken by most young athletes, who are open about their partners. Even after a lot of interest in his life off the field due to his rising stardom, Abdul hasn’t shared anything about it. However, recent reports by MARCA and The Times of India suggest that the 22-year-old is currently single.
