The New York Giants drafted an absolute behemoth with the No.3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter is listed at 6-foot-3, 251 pounds.

Abdul Carter’s first choice for his New York Giants’ jersey number was 56. But Lawrence Taylor, a Giants icon who previously wore that now-retired number, was not comfortable with the idea. Carter’s No.

Abdul Carter isn’t taking a number off the Giants’ ring of honor. Rather, he’ll wear No. 51 at rookie camp, taking a numeral worn by Azeez Ojulari, Kyler Fackrell and Zak DeOssie in recent years.
