Plaxico Burress: A List of His Top 10 Games by Receiving Yards

On June 6, 2011, Plaxico Burress is set to be released from prison. He has served just shy of two years due to the possession and discharge of an unregistered handgun in a Manhattan night club.

As much of the NFL world revolves around the lockout, Burress' release will briefly allow football fans to discuss the future of a former Super Bowl hero. Plaxico won Super Bowl XLII for the New York Giants after hauling in a 13-yard toss from QB Eli Manning.

Many believe that Burress will attempt a return to football after the lockout is lifted. The early favorite according to many experts and former teammate Brandon Jacobs is the Philadelphia Eagles.

In honor of Plax's return to civilian life, let's take a look at his top 10 games by receiving yards.
