Perseverance Paying Off For Former LSU Football Star
Nearly two years ago, Chad Jones was drafted in the third round by the New York Giants. But two months after he was drafted, he lost control of his Range Rover and slammed into a light pole. He nearly lost his leg and the accident almost ended his career.
But after rehabbing for over a year and the Giants not giving up on him, Chad Jones will be at the team's training facility when the Super Bowl champs begin their offseason workout program two months from tomorrow.
There's been reports that the safety has signed a two-year contract extension with the Giants, but the New York Daily News says that's not the case.
