Ten months after saying a tearful goodbye to football, the former Giants running back David Wilson is running again.
And jumping.
Wilson will make his professional track and field debut in the triple jump at Icahn Stadium on Saturday in the Adidas Grand Prix.
Early Thursday morning, Wilson spoke with a small news media contingent who had watched his workout and discussed the steps that had taken him from the N.F.L. to the track.
Wilson, a 5-foot-9-inch speed merchant, left a game against Philadelphia in 2013 after being gang tackled. He never returned to the playing field.
