Overview

  • Abdul Carter responded enthusiastically on X, calling the opportunity to wear Simms' number an 'HONOR.'
  • Simms noted that while he is personally supportive, his family and agent may have reservations about the decision.
  • Lawrence Taylor declined Carter’s earlier inquiry about wearing his retired No. 56, encouraging the rookie to make another number 'famous.'
