Jason Pierre-Paul embraces role model status after hand injury

The Giants didn't play last week, but you may have seen one of Jason Pierre-Paul's most significant highlights of the season on television anyway.

The defensive end reached out to 11-year-old Seamus Bohannon of Folsom, Pennsylvania, after learning that the young football player had parts of two fingers amputated following a recent bicycle accident. An interview with Bohannon and his sister Janie, who set up the FaceTime meeting, aired on SportsCenter while the Giants were on their bye.

"It means a lot," Pierre-Paul said, not referring to what the conversation did for Bohannon but what it did for himself.
