Abdul Carter has long been attached to defensive greatness but seeks to create a bit of his own with the New York 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.

After Carter called in to a Bleacher Report NFL draft show on Thursday to chat with Penn State great Micah Parsons, he made it clear he would like to wear No. 56 on the Giants, a number that has been retired in honor of LT, one of the greatest players in league history.
