After the New York giants chose the third common choice in the NFL draft, Abdul Carter aimed to wear a certain number during his newcomer, but this would not happen.
Penn State Pass Rusher hoped to put on No. 56, which could be the most famous number in the history of the franchise for giants, and this is mainly because it was worn by Lawrence Taylor. The NFL legend spent its entire 13-year career in New York, and after he finished playing, the giants eventually resigned. With 56, not available, the only way that Carter can wear this was if he received permission from Taylor, and this will definitely not happen.
During an interview with The New York Post, the Glory Hall of Professional Football made it clear that he would not give Carter permission to wear No. 56.
“I know that he would like to wear this number, but, hey, I think he is retired,” Taylor said.
The two -time winner of the Super Cup then offered the Carter a few integral tips.
“Get another number,” Taylor said. “I don’t care if it is double zero, and then make it famous.”
Although Carter hoped to receive No. 56, he is definitely not offended by the fact that Taylor said no. Hearing about Taylor’s answer, the former Penn State star responded to a comment on social networks.
Taylor’s refusal to allow Carter to wear his old number that occurred a few hours after the opposite thing happened in Tennessee. Kam Ward hoped to wear No. 1 with titans, and although the number retires for Warren Moon, Ward will be allowed to wear it after the Moon gave him permission on FridayThe field of glory of professional football appeared at the introductory press conference of Ward and gave him T -shirt No. 1.
Ward will receive the number he wanted, but the card will have to choose another number. Carter wore 11 in Penn State, and he could try to wear it in New York, but it will not be easy, because this number also retires (for Phil Simms).
