How Giants first-round pick Abdul Carter responded to Lawrence Taylor denying number request
Briefly

Abdul Carter, the Giants' No. 3 overall pick, sought to wear the legendary No. 56, previously held by Lawrence Taylor. After Taylor denied his request, Carter publicly showed respect and determination, tweeting about his admiration for Taylor and emphasizing that he would work even harder. Carter, who wore No. 11 at Penn State, revealed his desire for a defensive number, indicating a tradition he aims to build in New York. The Giants have precedents for un-retiring numbers when families agree, as they did for Malik Nabers.
The worst thing he could say was NO!! My stance don't change, LT is the 🐐 nothing but respect... This just gonna make me work even harder!! I love it.
I got a different number in mind (than 11), Carter told Parsons. I don't know, but (No.) 56 sound real good but we got have a conversation.
