Abdul Carter, the No. 3 overall pick by the Giants, expressed interest in wearing jersey No. 56 during his rookie season, a number associated with legendary linebacker Lawrence Taylor. This retired number symbolizes Taylor's remarkable contributions. Carter also noted his admiration for Taylor's greatness and aims to emulate his legacy. The Giants previously unretired jersey No. 1 for Malik Nabers, demonstrating that they might consider similar requests for Carter's preferred number, though the decision is still pending.
A year ago, Malik Nabers made headlines when he expressed that he wanted to wear jersey No. 1, and the Giants actually unretired that number to give it to their first-round pick.
Carter said he is looking forward to meeting Taylor, calling him the greatest defensive player of all time. "Just want to follow in his footsteps, knowing how great he was."
