David Tyree—author of More Than Just the Catch, released last month by Strang Communications' Excel Books imprint—was featured earlier this week in The New York Times.

Tyree, a New York Giants wide receiver who began practicing yesterday after recovering from surgery on his right knee in April, became famous for his seemingly miraculous reception that helped defeat the New England Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl.

In an article in Monday's edition that featured the headline: "Hoping to Return, Tyree Keeps Faith," the newspaper observed that "Tyree's moment is vividly recalled in More Than Just the Catch, which also chronicles his self-destructive behavior of a few years ago. It led to a religious awakening that saved his career and, possibly, his life."
