New York's newest pass rusher may be looking to follow in the shoes of Taylor, but Carter won't be wearing his old number.

The New York Giants made a splash in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, selecting elite edge rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick. Following their selection, Carter showed interest in wearing the No. 56 jersey number that has been retired for the legendary Lawrence Taylor.

New York Giants Linebacker Abdul Carter has a lot of confidence. So much so that he decided to ask Lawrence Taylor if he could wear his retired number 56. After Taylor turned him down, Carter made his feelings known via his social media handle on Sunday.
