New York Giants tight end Larry Donnell was on his way from Atlanta to New York to sign his exclusive rights free-agent contract when the plane he was on skidded off the runway.
Thankfully, everyone was OK. The runway at LaGuardia Airport was snowy and the Delta commercial flight skidded upon landing at about 11 a.m. No injuries were reported, according to the New York Daily News. Donnell was OK, his agent confirmed to the Daily News, and he posted a picture from the scene on his Instagram account. New York Newsday reported he was flying to New York to sign his contract tender offer.
Donnell made a name for himself last season when he scored three touchdowns in a Monday night game at Washington on Sept. 25. He finished the season with 623 yards and six touchdowns, a nice breakout in his second NFL season.
On his way to handle a mundane task to officially get going on his third season with the Giants, Donnell and others on the plane got quite a scare.
