David Tyree

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, which 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.
