The New York Giants took Penn State’s Abdul Carter third overall with the dream that he could one day be in their Ring of Honor, solidifying a spot as one of the best players to wear their jersey.
But that jersey won't feature the number 56 on it as he would like.
The number 56 belonged to perhaps the greatest defensive weapon the NFL has ever seen: Lawrence Taylor. It was retired by the Giants in 1994 to honor the Hall of Fame linebacker, and he intends to keep it that way despite Carter mentioning his desire to wear it.

Carter, however, is using Lawrence's “get another number” comment as fuel for his own fire heading into his rookie campaign with Big Blue.
“The worst thing he could say was NO!! My stance don’t change, LT is the [goat emoji]. Nothing but respect… This just gonna make me work even harder!! I love it,” he wrote on X.
Carter's comment stems from Taylor being asked about the Penn State pro..

The football world is stunned that Shedeur Sanders remains on the 2025 NFL Draft board, but the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback prospect continues to keep a positive mindset on social media.
Sanders was hopeful that he would be taken on Day 2, but after Rounds 3 and 4 came and went, he still didn't know which NFL team he will begin his career with.
Meanwhile, three other quarterbacks were selected on Friday night in Green Bay after Cam Ward went first overall to the Tennessee Titans, and the New York Giants traded back into the first round to grab Jaxson Dart 25th overall.

Tyler Shough (New Orleans Saints), Jalen Milroe (Seattle Seahawks) and Dillon Gabriel (Cleveland Browns) were all taken before Sanders, and “stunned” was an understatement to describe how analysts and fans alike felt.
But after the final picks were made on Friday, Sanders pointed to his faith with his reaction, saying, “Thank you GOD for EVERYTHING.” He had a.. -

When quarterback prospect Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, there were some who couldn’t believe he hadn’t been picked by an organization, although it wasn’t considered a total shock.
But with Friday night seeing three more quarterbacks not named Sanders come off the draft board, the reaction was pure shock.
Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback who was a Heisman Trophy finalist this past college season, remains available heading into the third and final day of the NFL Draft. There have been 102 prospects taken off the board, and with Round 4 beginning at noon in Green Bay, everyone is wondering which NFL team will finally pull the trigger on Sanders.

Surprise and shock might not even be the words to describe this fall down the draft board, arguably being the biggest we’ve seen in recent memory for someone whom many considered to be, at the very least, a Day 2 selection.

Thirty-one teams made first-round selections on Thursday night (the Houston Texans traded back), and none of them selected Shedeur Sanders.
But then night two came, and more of the same occurred. In fact, the Colorado quarterback, who was once expected to potentially go in the top-five, was not even one of the top five QBs selected.
Three more quarterbacks, Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe and Dillon Gabriel, were all selected on Friday; Shough at 40 to the Saints, Milroe to the Seahawks at 92, and Gabriel going to Cleveland at 95.

Over recent days, reports have been tough on Sanders, with one assistant coach saying he was “entitled” and simply “not that good,” while adding his formal interview was “the worst.”
ESPN's Dan Orlovsky pointed out some plays that need fixing ahead of the NFL Draft, but his colleague, Stephen A. Smith, doesn't think Sanders fell because of football reasons at all.
“I believe that the biggest issue in all.. -
