The wait is over! After months of wondering what number New York Giants' first-round pick Abdul Carter will wear this season, we have learned he will be sticking with No. 51, which he wore throughout training camp and the preseason.
Carter initially asked Giants legendary linebacker Lawrence Taylor for his permission to wear No. 56, which is retired by the franchise, but the Hall of Famer declined the rookie's request. Many people also expected this year's third overall pick to request No. 11, which quarterback Phil Simms wore, but that number is also retired by the Giants.
