NFL Playoffs: former New York Giants to watch on Wild Card Weekend
By Carly Mersky
The New York Giants missed the NFL Playoffs for the ninth time in the past ten seasons, but plenty of former Giants stars will be leading their teams into the postseason
The 2021 NFL regular season has come to an end and the New York Giants did not make the playoffs for the fifth year in a row and finished the season with a 4-13 record.
But, several former Giants are still alive in the quest for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, including defending Super Bowl champion and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end, Jason Pierre-Paul. And more.
Here are some former New York Giants’ players to watch this weekend in the Wild Card round of the playoffs:
Jason Pierre-Paul – Tampa Bay Buccaneers DE
Jason Pierre-Paul currently plays with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was drafted by the NEw York Giants in the first round of the 2010 draft.
It was reported that JPP returned to Bucs practice this week after missing the last two games with a shoulder injury. He won a championship with the Giants in 2011 and won another championship with the Buccaneers last season.
Pierre-Paul enters the postseason after producing 31 tackles and 2.5 sacks this season.
