Lawrence Taylor is one of the greatest linebackers to ever play the game, having amassed 132.5 sacks — 139 if you include the playoffs — over the course of a 13-year career that was played entirely in New York with the Giants.

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.

During an interview with the New York Post, the Pro Football Hall of Famer made it clear that he would NOT be giving Carter permission to wear No. 56. "I know he would love to wear that number, but hey, I think it's retired," Taylor said. The two-time Super Bowl winner then offered some terse advice to Carter.
