The saga of Abdul Carter's desire to wear the retired No. 11 jersey, previously held by Chris Simms' father, Phil Simms, faced familial resistance. Initially supportive, Chris Simms learned of his mother and sister's strong feelings against giving the number away. Despite Chris's willingness, their emotional opposition led to Phil Simms deciding against unretiring the number, emphasizing the importance of family dynamics over sports tradition. Carter, undeterred, continues his search for a suitable jersey number as he prepares for his rookie season.
Carter, after being turned down by Lawrence Taylor and now Simms, will continue his quest to find his jersey number for his rookie season.
