The Giants rookie pass-rusher recently struck out in his attempts to bring either Lawrence Taylor's No. 56 or Phil Simms' No. 11 jerseys out of retirement.

A couple of weeks into his tenure with the New York Giants, Abdul Carter still does not have a number. The third overall pick is not completely settled in quite yet. Asking to wear the No. 11 he did at Penn State was turned down because the Giants retired it for Phil Simms.
