Life-Changing Accident, but an Unchanging Goal
Last year, Chad Jones was on the verge of fulfilling a lifelong dream. A two-sport athlete at Louisiana State, he was about to play in the N.F.L. The Giants thought Jones, a safety, was just what their secondary needed, and drafted him in the third round.
