David Mikel Tyree is a former American football wide receiver who played in the National Football League for seven seasons. He played college football for Syracuse University. He was drafted by the New York Giants in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. Tyree has also played for the Baltimore Ravens. He earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2005 as a special teams player. He is best known for the miraculous "helmet catch" in 2008 on the Giants' final drive of Super Bowl XLII in the waning moments of the game. The catch came at a crucial moment, and was instrumental in continuing the drive that eventually resulted in the Giants scoring a last-minute touchdown and a 17?14 victory over the previously undefeated New England Patriots. Tyree is currently the New York Giants' Director of Player Development.
