How JPP plans to use mangled hand even more to get 1st sack

Sports

Jason Pierre-Paul, wearing a special wrap and his four-fingered right hand, warms up for the Giants' Week 12 game against the Washington Redskins.

As a right defensive end, Jason Pierre-Paul made his pass-rushing reputation putting his right hand in the dirt, exploding out of his stance and seeking the quarterback. Ever since the fireworks accident that mangled his right hand, Pierre-Paul has altered his stance, putting his left hand on the ground.

Not any longer.

“Today I put my right hand down and it made a big difference,’’ Pierre-Paul said Wednesday.
