Plaxico Burress: Back in New York in a Big Way

Plaxico Burress returned to the football field in his first official action since his prison release and two year hiatus from the National Football League last night, and he certainly did not fail to impress. Sporting the green and white of the New York Jets for the first time, Burress hauled in three passes for 66 yards, including an athletic touchdown grab of 26 yards from Mark Sanchez that must have made Eli Manning cringe. The New York Giants quarterback definitely recalls what an advantage it was to have someone of Burress’ size at his disposal.

Sanchez will be the beneficiary of that 6’5” frame this season.
