At the age of 30, David Tyree is done playing football.
Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger is reporting that the Giants re-signed Tyree Thursday so he can retire as a member of the team.
Tyree will always be remembered primarily for his performance in Super Bowl XLII. Although he had caught only four passes in the regular season, Tyree caught a ball against his helmet on a play that Steve Sabol of NFL Films called “the greatest play the Super Bowl has ever produced,” and he also caught a fourth-quarter touchdown pass in the game.
After that Super Bowl, Tyree never managed to get on the field at all in the 2008 regular season, and he played only sparingly for the Ravens in 2009. But as he retires from football in 2010, he’s walking away as a Giant.
