Giants legend Lawrence Taylor, who wore No. 56 throughout his 13-season career, will not allow Carter to wear the number, which has since been retired by the franchise to honor the Hall of Fame linebacker.

Giants legend Lawrence Taylor denied allowing Abdul Carter to wear his retired No. 56, and the rookie pass rusher is using it as motivation.

The newly selected Giants linebacker has big aspirations with his new team that includes donning an esteemed jersey number of a former player he admires.
