Jason Pierre-Paul looks shredded as ex-Giants star seeks NFL return: ‘Still got it’

Jason Pierre-Paul isn’t giving up on an NFL return — doing everything he can to get back onto the field after two seasons out of the league.

The former Giants star defensive end and two-time Super Bowl champion has been posting videos of his workouts since late April and looks ripped.

He told TMZ on Monday he is back down to his playing weight of 270 pounds.

The 36-year-old claims he is moving like he’s 24 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.”

Pierre-Paul was drafted No. 15 overall by the Giants in 2010 and helped the team win the Super Bowl one year later.

He spent eight years with Big Blue, making two Pro Bowls and posting a career-high 16 sacks in 2011 before losing his right index finger and damaging two others in a 2015 fireworks accident.

Pierre-Paul played two more seasons for Big Blue before being traded to the Buccaneers for draft picks in 2018.

He put together three strong seasons out of his four in Tampa, including making the Pro Bowl in 2020 as the team won its first Super Bowl with Tom Brady under center. 

Pierre-Paul, however, has been a shell of himself since, with just 5.5 sacks over his final three NFL seasons.

That included a stint with the Ravens in 2022 and splitting the 2023 season with the Saints and Dolphins for just three combined games.

Pierre-Paul believes he can return to his best form, insisting to TMZ that he’s “still got it.”

“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.”
