David Tyree is a name that will forever live in Boston sports infamy. The backup wide receiver and special teams ace became immortalized in NFL history after the famous “helmet catch” in Super Bowl XLII. It was a truly incredible catch that put the New York Giants in position for what was eventually the game-clinching touchdown.

That catch was easily the one shining moment of Tyree’s otherwise highly unspectacular NFL career. He never caught more than 20 passes in a single season and finished his six-year NFL career with a total of four touchdown catches. Tyree played through the 2009 NFL season and later got a job as Director of Player Development with the Giants.
