Why 2016 will be a career-defining season for Jason Pierre-Paul

By James Kratch | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

Quote

Pierre-Paul has come a long, remarkable way over the last 366 days. When he severely damaged his right hand a year ago, he became the butt of jokes and national ridicule, losing his index finger and millions of dollars as the possibility his relationship with the Giants was broken beyond repair seemed very real. 

But after a nearly four-month separation, Pierre-Paul returned and signed a pro-rated contract in late October. He's hit pretty much every note ever since, playing his heart out on the field and becoming a leader off it, embracing his role model status to assist fellow burn victims and help educate others about the dangers of fireworks, and positioning himself as a realistic candidate for a team captaincy this fall, any issues he once had with the organization having washed away.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    "For me, I never considered it that way (as a stepping stone), honestly. When I was offered the head job at South Florida, and I'm sincere about this, I never thought I would ever go anywhere."
