Giants David Wilson shut down

[pansophy]

Looks like the neck injury may be career ending. That's a blow for the Giants...

Wishing Wilson the best.

 

[SDCowboy]

Not familiar with him, but unfortunate to hear, for sure.

 

[Phoenix]

Sad for him. This sort of reminds me of the whole sad Billy Cannon Jr thing for us in the mid-80s.

 

[DFWJC]

Very talented and explosive RB who just could not stay on the field.
Hate to hear a kids dreams go away like that.

 

[jrumann59]

Spinal Stenosis is the issue.

oh you know him

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Sad deal for him.

It looks like it's going to be the end of his football career. Better to walk away though while he can still walk.

 

[Avery]

Can't see him playing after this especially at a position like RB.

Likely see an injury settlement and he'll retire.

 

[MonsterD]

Rashad Jennings and especially Andre Williams looked great last night, don't think the Giants fans are worried as far as the RB position.

Wow

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Dang. That's rough for the poor kid. I hate to see that happen to any player.

 

[Blackspider214]

Only a matter of time. If it wasn't the injuries, it was his ball control issues.

 

[StarOfGlory]

Officially retired.

Too bad. A friend of the family went to college at Virginia Tech and hung out with him a lot. Said he's a great guy.

Apparently he was a pretty doggone good track athlete, though, so there might be an avenue for him to continue in athletics that way.

Only a matter of time. If it wasn't the injuries, it was his ball control issues.

Ball control issues can be coached and fixed.

This is something he doesn't even get a shot to fix and continue. It's a very sad deal for him.
