Lawrence Taylor denied a request from Abdul Carter, the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, to wear his retired No. 56 with the Giants.

Shortly after the New York Giants selected Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, the question arose: What number will he wear? Some pondered the possibility that Carter would seek to unretire No.

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.
