    • Abstract:
      The article reports on some of the latest developments in the National Football League. The addition of former Steelers WR Plaxico Burress will create tough matchups for Giants opponents, especially in the red zone. The team's starting receivers, Burress and Amani Toomer, are 6-5 and 6-3, respectively, and TE Jeremy Shockey also is 6-5. Burress has inconsistent hands and did not have many yards after the catch last season. But he knows how to position himself to take advantage of his height on high throws and could thrive in an offense that is more pass-oriented than Pittsburgh's.
