Super Bowl Champ Tells of Troubles & Triumphs

New York Giants star receiver (and ESPY Award winner) David Tyree visited the NPR West studios this week, and sat down for an interview with our very own Tony Cox.

The pair spoke at length about his miracle Super Bowl catch, but also delved into the more serious subject of Tyree's past -- which includes an arrest for selling marijuana -- and his subsequent spiritual rebirth, which has carried him all the way to the top.




You can listen to the entire interview here.

That was a cool interview. Very interesting perspective on Tyree\Rodney Harrison\Divine Intervention.
