Ex-Giant David Wilson Eager To Jump His Way Into The 2016 Olympics

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Imagine achieving your dream, only to have it snatched away.

Former Giants running back David Wilson went from a first-round pick in the NFL draft to retirement in two short years.

If you weren’t heartbroken watching Wilson’s retirement press conference last year, you should be checked for a pulse.

“Don’t for a second think I’m pitying myself or sad, because I got to live my dream. And I’ll set another dream and be great at that,” Wilson said through tears back on Aug.
