Abdul Carter will wear No. 51 with the New York Giants. The team announced the numbers that rookies would wear on Friday morning, ending the speculation that Carter, the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, would wear the retired No. 56 of Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor.
Carter wore No. 11 at Penn State, but after he was drafted by the Giants he said "No. 56 sound real good." People were not impressed.
