About David Tyree
David Tyree was a talented American footballer. He was one of the best wide receivers in the league in his day.
Background
The athlete and his two sisters were raised by a single mother in New Jersey.
Tyree had his education at Montclair High School and was chosen as a Blue Chip Illustrated All-American. He was a formidable wide receiver at the University of Syracuse, where he placed 13th in the school’s overall receiving records list.
Sports Career
After dominating at Syracuse, he was drafted into the NFL in 2013 – particularly, the New York Giants. He played in every single game that season. He left his mark on the turf on his very first season, averaging 13 yards per catch and amassing 211 receiving yards.
Arrest for Drug Possession
The luxuries money and fame became constant in the newbie’s life, and the high-, fast-life of New York got into the budding athlete’s head. David Tyree got caught up in alcohol and drug abuse. He was arrested for drug possession when he was caught with half-a-pound of marijuana in his car. At about the same time, his girlfriend Leilah was with child.
“The Helmet Catch” and Return to Winning Ways
Fortunately, Tyree made a decision to leave the destructive life behind and commit to family, to God, and to the turf.
David made a historic catch in a Giants game against the New England Patriots during the Super Bowl 2007. The remarkable “helmet catch”, as it came to be called, set the atmosphere for a turn-around in the game – the Giants eventually won that game.
The legendary receiver signed for the Baltimore Ravens briefly but retired as a Giant when he signed a one-day contract at his retirement.
