David Tyree is a wide receiver for the New York Giants. During the 2007 season, Tyree didn’t play much on offense. He was an exceptional special team’s player. He made the Pro Bowl in 2005 for special teams.
So Super Bowl Sunday came and the New York Giants were playing the New England Patriots.
So there was one minute and twenty three seconds left in the game. It was a third down and five. The game was riding on this play. The Giants were losing fourteen to ten. The Patriots blitzed to try to get pressure on Eli Manning and try to get a sack.
So the blitz comes and they have a lot of opportunities to sack Eli. He scrambles away from the pressure and throws a bomb down the field. And from out of nowhere comes wide receiver David Tyree and makes the greatest catch in Super Bowl History.
Tyree jumps and is battling with the Patriots safety Rodney Harrison for the ball. Harrison almost strips the ball out from Tyree, but somehow David pined the ball on his helmet and held it there as he went down to the ground to secure the catch, as well as a first down. That catch led to the game winning touchdown pass to Plexico Burress.
So as decorated in the picture, it was an amazing catch the way he was projected into the air and how Harrison is on him and somehow he held on to the ball.
