Looks to be the end of one path for Wilson and the start of a new.

David Wilson's playing career over

The promising career of New York Giants running back David Wilson appears to be over before his third NFL season.

The Giants announced Monday that two doctors have advised Wilson, 23, to stop playing football due to the condition of his neck and spine. The Giants placed Wilson on injured reserve, which means he will not play for them this season.

According to a team news release, Wilson has come to terms with the fact his playing days are through.

That's a tough reality to be forced to reckon with at 23 years of age. He was a talented back... really liked him coming out of the draft.

Although it just continues the lineage of snakebit backs coming out of Virginia Tech... just one after another going all the way back to the mid 90's. David Wilson, Ryan Williams, Darren Evans, Branden Ore, Cedric Humes, Mike Imoh, Kevin Jones, Lee Suggs, Ken Oxendine, Shyrone Stith.... just extremely bizarre.

That's got to be a very bitter pill to swallow. 'Tough break' doesn't even begin to cover that.
