New York Giants rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter has legitimate superstar potential moving into the future. After the team selected him with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, Carter has made waves in the media as he searches for his jersey number at the NFL level.

Rob Gronkowski is floored at Abdul Carter’s daring request. The former Penn State pass rusher, whom the Giants took No. 3 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, was in pursuit of Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor’s No. 56 jersey to wear for his rookie season. The bold ask rubbed Gronkowski the wrong way.

A former Giants quarterback whose number was retired by the team in 1995, Simms was recently asked what he would say if Dart (who wore No. 2 in college) asked to wear his number. "I'd let him have it in a second," Simms said. "Can you just help it a little bit and make it better? I think it would a lot of fun. It wouldn't bother me."
