A completely absurd saga officially ended Friday, when prized rookie outside linebacker Abdul Carter put on his No. 51 Giants jersey. So what does Carter think about that number? “It feels good,” he said after the first practice of the Giants’ two-day rookie minicamp.

Abdul Carter has tackled his first big task in the NFL by choosing a jersey number. After a search that made some headlines, the New York Giants’ first-round pick is wearing No. 51.

After being spurned by Lawrence Taylor and Phil Simms in his search for a number to wear in the NFL, Abdul Carter has finally settled on his jersey with the New York Giants. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Carter intends to wear No. 51 starting on Friday when the Giants open rookie minicamp.
