Well its official, New York Giants running back David Wilson has decided to walk away from football after doctors advised him to following a re-aggravation of the neck injury that ended his season prematurely last year.
These is some of the things he had to say.
David Wilson says he doesn't want "anybody to feel sorry for me or pity me. I lived my dream." Sounds like he's walking away.

On one hand it’s sad to see such a talented footballer not get the chance to realize his true potential, but on the other hand he gets to do what so many others before him didn’t, and that’s walk away with his health intact.
