Rob Gronkowski is floored at Abdul Carter’s daring request.

The Giants drafted a former Penn State pass rusher as the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He expressed his desire to wear Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor’s No. 56 jersey during his rookie season.

The bold ask rubbed Gronkowski the wrong way.

A recent episode of the “Dudes on Dudes” podcast, hosted by a four-time Super Bowl champion along with former Patriots player Julian Edelman, discussed the rookie’s request for LT’s iconic number. The Super Bowl champion emphasized the significance of earning the right to wear such a legend’s number and supported Taylor’s decision to decline the request.

Gronkowski is referring to Taylor telling The Post’s Steve Serby that Carter should use a different number.

Larence Taylor, known as LT, reacted to the rookie’s request by pointing out the status of the jersey as retired. He suggested that the rookie should establish his own legacy with a different number, even if it’s unconventional like double zero, and make it memorable in his own right.

“That was such an LT response. Go make your own freaking number kid,” Edelman continued on the podcast. “Can we read the room? And it’s not even the room, it’s the football galaxy. The fact that he even asked, that’s crazy to me. Maybe he’ll go make another one. And people say oh the [No.] 11, the 11 thing. But they give everyone 11 at Penn State but no one ever puts on the 56.”

Carter didn’t take the rejection too hard.

“The worst thing he could say was NO!! My stance don’t change, LT is the [goat emoji] nothing but respect…,” Carter tweeted a day following Taylor’s decision. “This just gonna make me work even harder!! I love it.”

Carter wore No. 11 at Penn State, the same number worn by former Nittany Lions linebackers LaVar Arrington and Micah Parsons.

The Giants’ No. 11 initially wasn’t available since it is retired for former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Phil Simms, but the former Giant later said he was open to the idea of un-retiring his number for Carter or the team’s other first-round pick, Jaxson Dart.

“I told some of my friends and people around me, ‘I’d let him have it in a second. Can you just help it a little or make it better?’” Simms quipped on FanDuel TV. “I think it would be a lot of fun. It wouldn’t bother me.”

Carter jumped at the opportunity, posting on X “It would be an HONOR,” while tagging Simms with the horns hand emoji.

However, Simms’ family outvoted him and his number will remain retired.

“Damn at this point imma be out there with just my last name on my jersey, no number Jkjk, It’s all Love. Just wanna play Football!” Carter wrote on X with three crying laughing emojis.

Just a year after the Giants un-retired No. 1 for Malik Nabers following Ray Flaherty’s family’s approval, Carter is striking out in his own quest.
