The bizarre Giants moment when Darren Waller decided to retire: ‘What the f–k am I doing?’
NY Post
About two hours before tight end Darren Waller tried to make a game-winning walk-off touchdown catch for the Giants, he decided to retire.
Waller, who officially announced his retirement in June 2024, said he made up his mind about eight months earlier while playing against the Bills on Oct. 15, 2023.
“It was in the first quarter of the game,” Waller said on “The Side You Don’t See” podcast. “We were running like this counter-lead running play, and I’m kind of like leading through the hole like I’m a fullback. And the play is working, but I sit down on the sideline after a drive where we ran it like three times and I’m like, ‘What the f–k am I doing with my life? I’m out here playing fullback. I don’t even want to do this sh– anymore.’”
The game ended in a 14-9 loss for the Giants when Tyrod Taylor’s pass to Waller from the 1-yard line fell incomplete.
The Giants wanted a penalty flag for defensive pass interference, but that would’ve made two in a row since they were already playing on an untimed down after a defensive pass-interference penalty moved the ball at the 1.
Waller kept his decision to himself during the game.
