First, Lawrence Taylor. Now, Phil Simms.
So far for Abdul Carter, the toughest part about being in the NFL may be finding a uniform number.
Carter's hopes of bringing the famed No. 56 of Taylor out of retirement were rebuffed last weekend by the Hall of Fame linebacker, who respectfully urged the New York Giants rookie to make his own mark instead.
Simms then entered the picture when he said on FanDuel TV that he'd be open to unretiring his No. 11 so that Carter, or fellow Giants first-round pick Jaxson Dart, could wear it.
