There was support, anger, frustration and concern when word spread that Jason Pierre-Paul had lost his right index finger, the result of a July 4 fireworks accident which potentially could ruin his future.

Another former teammate, two-time Giants Super Bowl champion David Diehl, however, raised the possibility the hospital-ridden defensive end conceivably could have suffered a “career-ending” injury that shined a light on his immaturity.
