Exclusive | Phil Simms loving Abdul Carter’s embrace of Giants culture as rookie’s number search continues after QB’s family shuts down idea

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.
