After Being Suspended By New York Giants Darren Shocks Fans With This Decision…
Darren Waller, tight end for the New York Giants, discovered his interest in fashion and dressing himself more stylishly relatively recently. Like the L.A. Clippers’ Terance Mann, it helps he’s got the look and funds to support it, and a new city to gather inspiration from.
Waller has known many ups and downs, having been drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2015 and finding himself suspended in both 2016 and 2017 for violating the NFL substance-abuse policy.
After rehab and a humble job working at a farmers market, he was reinstated in 2018 and ranked in the NFL’s Top 100 Players in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Coming off a lucrative contract extension in 2022, he was traded to the New York Giants this year and is currently battling his way back from a hamstring injury.
This is the last Five Fits With of 2023. I always hope this column can be educational. An interest in clothing has taken me so much further than one would think pieces of fabric could. I wanted to get Darren’s perspective on adversity and share how we should handle it.
Below, we discuss his interest in football and his path to the NFL, what football has taught him about life, how moving to New York changed his outlook on getting dressed, and plenty more.
