EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Robert Nunn has a special relationship with injured New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.
Nunn has been the team’s defensive line coach since 2010, the same year New York drafted Pierre-Paul in the first round. They have worked together the past six years, so it should come as no surprise that Nunn probably has had more contact with him than anyone in the organization since the defensive end suffered a serious hand injury in a July 4 fireworks accident.
Nunn doesn’t go into much detail about what the two have said on the telephone or exchanged in texts.
