JPP Offers Words Of Encouragement Via FaceTime To Boy Who Lost Parts Of Fingers

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — With celebrity comes responsibility.

It appears that Jason Pierre-Paul understands that.

The Giants’ defensive end is back on the field after losing his right index finger and parts of two other fingers following a Fourth of July fireworks accident.

That’s remarkable in itself, but what might be more impressive is what JPP has been doing off the field.

The two-time Pro Bowler reached out to 11-year-old Seamus Bohannon on Tuesday night, NJ.com’s Jordan Raanan reports.

Bohannon’s fingers got stuck in a bike chain on Nov. 3, and parts of two of his fingers were amputated.
