Who wore the most famous football helmet in Super Bowl History? David Tyree. Who can forget his unbelievable third down catch, thrown by Eli Manning, against his helmet in Super Bowl XLII? This kept Super Bowl XLII alive and assisted in the 17-14 victory over the Patriots. Both Eli Manning and David Tyree's helmets are on display at the Sports Museum of America, which is located in historic Lower Manhattan in New York City.
David Tisch, treasurer and co-owner of the Giants states, "David Tyree's catch and the Cinderella story of the New York Giants have already become the stuff of Super Bowl legend. We are thrilled to be able to share with our fans an intimate look at the fabled helmets right here in New York City at the Sports Museum of America." The helmets will be displayed through the summer before they permanently move to the Hall of Fame in Canton,Ohio.
