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.

The New York Giants' No. 3 pick Abdul Carter tested the waters after being drafted by sharing that he would be interested in sporting No. 56 on his new team. The only problem is that No. 56 is retired by the Giants organization for Lawrence Taylor. Carter expressed that Taylor is a player he looks up to as a fellow defensive star.

Giants legend Lawrence Taylor denied allowing Abdul Carter to wear his retired No. 56, and the rookie pass rusher is using it as motivation.
