After getting selected by the New York Giants with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft, Abdul Carter had his sights set on wearing a specific number during his rookie year but that won't be happening.

After being picked by the Giants on Thursday night, Abdul Carter made clear his interest in wearing No. 56. On Friday night, Lawrence Taylor made clear his lack of interest in allowing it. Carter accepted Taylor's refusal to permit the retired number to be unretired in a Twitter post.
