US EditionJason Pierre-Paul Training for Return to NFL, Says It Would Be 'Dope' to Play for Giants Again
- Jason Pierre-Paul, a former NFL defensive end, suffered a career-altering fireworks accident on July 4, 2015, in Deerfield Beach, Florida, that cost him 2.5 fingers.
- The accident happened as he was having difficulty igniting the final set of fireworks, resulting in serious injury to his right hand and the loss of his index finger along with portions of two additional fingers.
- Despite the injury, Pierre-Paul returned to the NFL, played several seasons including a double-digit sack year in 2018 with Tampa Bay, and won two Super Bowl rings, one with the Giants in 2011 and another with the Buccaneers in 2020.
- Now 36 years old and holding 94.5 career sacks, Pierre-Paul continues training daily, remains hopeful for an NFL comeback, and expressed a desire to finish his career back with the Giants where it all began.
- He advises kids to avoid dangerous situations like fireworks, saying ‘ten fingers is a blessing’ and emphasizes that his past does not define him as he pursues being the best version of himself on and off the field.
