East Rutherford, NJ – East New York Giants The defensive end does not hesitate Jason Pierre-Piel. He owns the fourth accident of July 10 years ago, in which he spends “2 and” fingers – as he does each of his 94.5 career sacks.
They have no choice but to remind when putting on the dress shirt and reminding it when he arrives for a button – or when he reminds about a career he hopes that he is not over.
Pierre-Paul told ESPN in a phone conversation last week, “I wouldn’t want my children go through anything. … I learned from it.” “At the end of the day, I am a big person, but it happened to me. It can happen to anyone.
“So keep it out. What is embarrassed about this? There is nothing to be embarrassed. It is just you win and learn from it.”
Pierre-Paul was fireworks, which she bought for a Neberhood party in Dearfield Beach, Florida in 2015, on the evening of Independence Day. They were having trouble illuminating the last batch, and when it eventually discharged, it was at the cost of the right hand of the Pierre-Paul.
He remembers that he is on the verge of unconsciousness as he was losing so much blood while being operated by a friend at the nearby Browd Health North Hospital. After seeing the interiors of your hand under the light inside the hospital, he told the doctors, “Don’t cut my hand!”
Pierre-Paul dissected its right index finger. Despite wondering whether his veteran career was over, he managed to return to eight matches in the 2015 season. He played two more seasons in New York, in three years a total of 16.5 sacks of logging, which occurred after his injury.
Former veteran vice -president of the player personnel Mark Ross said, “In no way we felt that he would play.” “He is a medical miracle, really.”
Pierre-Paul went away with a double-shock sack season in 2018 Tampa bay bouquaneers Despite hand boundaries. Already owns a ring with the 2011 veterans, he won the second super bowl in 2020 after overcome the broken neck in the 2019 car accident.
Pierre-Paul succeeded in continuing his career with a distorted hand which he has come to accept. But this does not define her, it is part of her story: a two-time super bowl winner from a junior college’s first round of drafts Pick to All-Pr is unknown. This is how he explains this to his 10 -year -old son Josiest and also plans to do the same with his young children with Jolin, Jackie and Jason Junior.
“I tell [Josiah] Straight up, listen, in life, some people are born with 10 fingers. Some people are born with disabled people. Some people are born only with natural gifts, “Pierre-Paul said.” And 10 fingers are a natural gift. You don’t know how you are going to be. You do not know in life whether you are going to shock or you are going to make dramatic changes, but just be ready for it.
“And I explained to him … My daddy was almost blind since I was born. And look, I am 36 years old, and he is still living. And he found a smile on his face and I care about it.”
Pierre-Paul’s father, Jean lost his vision for a long time of his son’s birth. This did not prevent him from living a happy and productive life. Pierre-Paul said that the fireworks help to keep everything in perspective after the accident.
Now, it is about learning from their mistakes and passing that knowledge for the next generation. Their children do not play with fireworks. If he has anything to say about it, he will never.
“I tell [Josiah] Straight up, ‘You got 10 fingers, okay?’ “Pierre-Paul said. “He says, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Okay, you want to be with them when they have gone, you can’t change them.’
Pierre-Paul has continued the busy speaking and talked about the dangers of fireworks. He sees that as part of his purpose.
He said that he was talking with the former team partner and the cousin of NFL Cornerback Marcus Peters, as he had a similar fireworks accident and lost four fingers. Peters added both of them and they now talk regularly, say Pierre-Paala.
“My message to children is that you never know how life is going on,” he said. “Don’t put yourself in a prediction that you are going to regret later.”
Pierre-Paul said that there is no regrets on their behalf. But he sometimes surprises what his career would have been if the accident did not happen. Will he have more than 100 career sacks? (He currently sits at 94.5.) More Pro Bowls and Super Bowls?
Getting 100 sack cases for pierre-papers, which is still training to play despite not being with a team in 2024. He says that he now works as hard on 36 as he had done a decade ago, waiting for a call from a team that was ready to give him a chance.
Once unable to hang directly from a bridge-up bar, he says that he is now easily 25 to 30 bridges.
Pierre-Paul believes that he can help a team, that he can be an experienced.
“I can still do,” he said.
If he got an opportunity to do so for a legendary team, which drafted him in the first round of the USF in 2010, it would be something that he welcomed-a full-cycle moment.
“I think it will be dope. Tremendous,” said Pierre-Po. “To go back somewhere where my career started … fans know me and I know what kind of player I know. I will always be that type of player and just what I have got, just give him what I know that it will be more than enough.”
A decade ago the accident focuses on the occasion of some pierre-letting him, but he focuses on the occasion of getting back and trying to be the best version of his own.
“I got 7 and fingers. You are still living,” he said. “You get an opportunity every day to take that deep breath, taste the good drink you want to taste? Getting a glass of milk or drinking coffee in the morning, which is your thing.
“You get another chance every day. So why not great on what you are doing?”
