After Carter called in to a Bleacher Report NFL draft show on Thursday to chat with Penn State great Micah Parsons, he made it clear he would like to wear No. 56 on the Giants, a number that has been retired in honor of LT, one of the greatest players in league history.

The feeling of being drafted by the New York Giants was surreal for Penn State's Abdul Carter, who dreamt of the moment in his sleep as a kid. "I don't remember the exact pick, but I remember (there) being a screen with my name on it," Carter told reporters after Round 1 of the draft. "It's hard to believe but it is true."

The New York Giants' No. 3 pick Abdul Carter tested the waters after being drafted by sharing that he would be interested in sporting No. 56 on his new team. The only problem is that No. 56 is retired by the Giants organization for Lawrence Taylor. Carter expressed that Taylor is a player he looks up to as a fellow defensive star.
