Plaxico Burress' Super Bowl Ring from Giants' Win vs. Brady, Patriots Sells for $280K

Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is cashing in after a reported record-setting sale at an auction.

Burress' Super Bowl ring from the New York Giants' victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in 2007 sold for $280,600 through Heritage Auctions. Per Darren Rovell of Cllct, the sale marks the highest ever for a Super Bowl player ring, surpassing the $230,000 paid for Lawrence Taylor's Giants Super Bowl ring:

Burress was one of the heroes of Super Bowl XLII, as he caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Eli Manning in the fourth quarter to secure a 17-14 win for the Giants. The game-winning drive also featured the famed "Helmet Catch" by fellow receiver David Tyree. New England was looking to complete an undefeated season before New York's miraculous victory.

Burress retired from the NFL after the 2013 season. He also suited up for the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets over his 12-year career.
