Former Penn State linebacker Abdul Carter requested to wear Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor's No. 56 jersey in his rookie season with the Giants. Gronkowski criticized the request on his podcast, emphasizing the legacy associated with Taylor's number. Taylor himself advised Carter to find another number, reinforcing the notion that he must earn his place in the NFL. Carter responded positively to the rejection, stating it motivates him to work harder. He previously wore No. 11 at Penn State, a number associated with other notable players.
"Was he serious asking for LT's number? Yeah you were a high draft pick but LT is an absolute legend. You gotta prove yourself."
"I know he would love to wear that number, but hey, I think it's retired. Get another number, I don't care if it's double zero, and then make it famous."
