In this week's episode of Get Sweaty, we catch up with Jason Pierre-Paul for the first time since his fireworks injury in July 2015. The unfortunate accident left the Giants player with a severely damaged right hand—an obvious problem for anyone whose career involves using their hands. But despite this career-altering hiccup, Pierre-Paul was able to recover from his devastating injury and return to the football field last November. During our visit to his hometown of Deerfield, Fla., JPP took us through his very intense workout regimen while also talking about how he overcame his injury and which players he enjoys going up against on the field. Check out the video above for the full interview.
