Phil Simms loving Abdul Carter’s embrace of Giants culture as rookie’s number search continues after QB’s family shuts down idea
NY Post
Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor retired together, and now the Giants legends are together again at the center of rookie Abdul Carter’s jersey number selection process.
Carter said Friday on X that it would be an “honor” to wear Simms’ No. 11 if it is unretired — a proposition that the Super Bowl-winning quarterback sounded OK with during his appearance on FanDuel TV.
But Simms didn’t really think then that Carter would ask — and he’s still not sure that the conversation will be had.
And it does not seem — at least for now — that Carter will get to share the same No. 11 in blue.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
