Top 25 Under 25: #19 Jason Pierre-Paul


Date of birth: January 1, 1989 (age 23)
Team: New York Giants
Position: DE

2nd guy from the New York Giants already on the list. Pierre-Paul was drafted by the Giants with the 15th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He didn't get much starting time that year (actually didn't start a game that year), but in 2011 he had 16.5 sacks and 86 tackles. He was a big reason for the Giants run into the postseason, and is just a beast.

Pierre-Paul is just starting to scratch the surface of what he can do at 23 years old, which is pretty damn scary coming off a season in which he had 16.5 sacks. Remember this is a kid that only started seven games at USF before being drafted. He is just starting to learn how to play football, and already is one of the top DE's in the NFL.
