NY Giants Jason Pierre-Paul Blows Off Fingers in Fireworks Accident!!!

Yes it’s true, NY Giants Jason Pierre-Paul Blows Off Fingers in Fireworks Accident Saturday night while attempting to light fireworks.

The New York Giants Defensive End Jason Pierre-Paul rushed to the hospital suffered a hand injury which will now determine his fate as a NFL player.

He posted this video of himself and his little baby boy – it was a happier moment:

CelebNMusic247.com has learned according to two sources briefed of the situation. Rapoport reported JPP’s hand will be intact, and as of Sunday night, doctors are still examining for nerve damage and other issues related to the incident.

There were multiple tweets on Saturday indicating that Pierre-Paul had procured a large amount of fireworks for a Fourth of July celebration at or near his home in South Florida. The fireworks appear to have been transported in a rented U-Haul van. Pierre-Paul posted an Instagram video in front of the van prior to Saturday’s incident.

Before the incident on the 4th of July took place, Jason Pierre-Paul was spotted tweeting:

One of his neighbors weighed in on the incident saying:

According to social media, Pierre-Paul blew off two of his fingers while lighting the U-Haul load fireworks on the 4th of July and now the incident could potentially impact Pierre-Paul’s future with the Giants. The team used its franchise tag on the two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher in March, but Pierre-Paul has not signed his $14.8 million tender and therefore is not currently under contract.

We heard via a source that if Pierre-Paul had signed his contract before the 4th, he would have been complete insured and the $14.8 million tender would had been a done deal.

Now, he has to hope his fingers mend and there is no nerve damage that could affect his career as a NFL football player.

 

Pierre-Paul, 26, enjoyed a healthy and productive 2014, starting 16 games for the first time in his career and finishing with 12.5 sacks and three forced fumbles. He ranked seventh out of 59 qualified 4-3 defensive ends in Pro Football Focus’ ratings.

Before the tragic incident, the NFL baller, Pierre-Paul posted this IG video talking about focusing and setting your goals.

Apparently he wasn’t listening to his own advice:

Set your goals and go out and do what you need to do to get it.
