TAMPA — Jason Pierre-Paul no longer takes playing in the NFL for granted. He said Tuesday that was his message when he addressed his teammates after practice last week in Nashville.
The former USF defensive end's career nearly ended after a horrific fireworks accident on the Fourth of July in 2015.
"I told them, man, I gave them a little brief of my story,'' Pierre-Paul said. "I told them don't ever take anything for granted. We get up in the morning, I don't know what anybody does here, but I get up in the morning and pray and go about my business.
