New York Giants WR Malik Nabers took a playful jab at teammate Abdul Carter following his latest jersey number change.

The New York Giants shared anticipated news on Friday: Linebacker Abdul Carter is switching his jersey number from 51 to 3 for the upcoming season. Carter, the third-overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft out of Penn State, selected No. 3 to match his draft position.

As a rookie, he wore No. 51 and posted 4. 0 sacks along with 43 tackles across all 17 games.

The linebacker had previously requested No. 56, retired for Lawrence Taylor, and No. 11, retired for Phil Simms.

While No. 56 was unavailable, the Simms family denied the use of No. 11 after Phil initially gave the green light.
