After staying off the field for two seasons, a two-time Super Bowl champion is still targeting a return to the NFL and is imploring franchises to give him a chance.
Former New York Giants star Jason Pierre-Paul has been posting videos of his new physique as the 36-year-old hopes to return to the league he made his living in.
Recent videos show a ripped Pierre-Paul putting in work at the gym as he hopes to secure another gig making nightmares for opposing quarterbacks.
Pierre-Paul told TMZ that he’s back down to his playing weight of 270 points and says he’s moving like he’s 24-years-old again.
‘I’ve got abs!’ Pierre-Paul told TMZ. ‘I haven’t had abs since my rookie year. So that’s how hard of work I’m putting in.’
The three-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro logged 14 seasons in the NFL from 2010 to 2023.

Pierre-Paul won his first тιтle with the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. He won a second with Tampa.
Pierre-Paul was picked 15th overall in the 2010 NFL Draft out of the University of South Florida.
Within a year, he’d helped the Giants win Super Bowl XLVI over the New England Patriots.
In his eight years with the G-Men, he made a pair of Pro Bowl appearances and totaled 58.5 sacks, 13 forced fumbles, and two interceptions.
During his stint with the Giants, Pierre-Paul memorably lost his right index finger and damaged two other fingers during a fireworks accident in 2015.
Pierre-Paul was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2018 and continued his strong form.
Not only did he reach another Pro Bowl, but he won his second career тιтle in 2020 when the Bucs beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
But after winning the тιтle, he experienced a sharp decline. After putting up 9.5 sacks in 2020, his final three seasons saw a combined 5.5 sacks with the Bucs, the Baltimore Ravens, the New Orleans Saints, and the Miami Dolphins.
Despite this, Pierre-Paul believes he’s ‘still got it’ and can contribute to an NFL team.
‘Anybody that gives me the opportunity,’ the former South Florida star said. ‘I’m ready to go and I’m ready to rock right now.’
