Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor, two New York Giants legends, are at the forefront of rookie Abdul Carter's jersey number selection. Simms expressed his willingness to un-retire his iconic No. 11 for either Carter or fellow rookie Jaxson Dart, emphasizing it wouldn't bother him. Taylor, however, denied Carter's request to un-retire the revered No. 56. Carter, who wore No. 11 at Penn State, expressed his excitement over potentially wearing Simms' number, calling it an honor. The discussion reflects the Giants' legacy and the impact of jersey numbers for incoming talent.
Carter, who wore the esteemed No. 11 at Penn State, quickly caught wind of Simms' approval and replied on X. "It would be an HONOR," Carter wrote, tagging Simms with the horns hand emoji.
Pressed on if he would really grant the Giants permission to un-retire No. 11, Simms said, "It's just whatever. I don't know. My agent (said), 'Don't you dare give up that jersey number.'"
I told some of my friends and people around me, 'I'd let him have it in a second. Can you just help it a little or make it better?'" Simms quipped on FanDuel TV.
