Ravens Gets Tyree the Hero

The Baltimore Ravens tapped the services of David Tyree the former Super Bowl XLII hero, who played in 73 games for the New York Giants before he was released last month.  Terms of the deal was not revealed.  Tyree is estimated to contribute his special skills for Baltimore and could contribute as a wide receiver behind Kelley Washington, Mark Clayton and Derrick Mason.  Jason La Canfora an NFL Network reporter said that Tyree is scheduled to work out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who also signed former Raven Yamon Figurs and is also looking at ex-Jacksonville Jaguar Matt Jones. 

Tyree made a very spectacular catch in the 2008 Super Bowl history against the New England Patriots.  He pulled down a 32-yard pass on a third-and-5 by using his helmet to tap the ball. This triggered a drive that resulted in a touchdown winning the game for the Giants.  Tyree was not able to play last season due to a hamstring injury and also two preseason games this summer due to some series of injuries.
