What Happened to Plaxico Burress?

There was a time when Plaxico Burress was the most dominant wide receiver in the NFC, NFL, and NYC.

The former New York Giants star was one Super Bowl into a Hall of Fame career in 2008. He hadn’t attended a Pro Bowl yet, but he had just caught the winning touchdown pass in a Super Bowl victory over Tom Brady and the seemingly invincible New England Patriots.

After Super Bowl XVII, Plaxico Burress and the New York Giants were primed to run it back. Everyone in the Giants organization believes the 2008 squad started as the best they’ve ever had, from kicker to coach.

Burress was a believer as well, and the former first-round pick spent his offseason planning his next parade. It was a parade that would never come.

New York would be Super again, but not with Plaxico. Somewhere between Super Bowl XLII & XLVI, Plaxico disappeared. Most NFL fans know the story, but do they know the man?

Plaxico Burress is more than just one mistake, whether that mistake occurred in sweatpants or not.
