Justin Tuck: 'I Would Love' to Have Plaxico Burress Back on Giants

Filed under: Giants

Plaxico Burress is set to be released from prison on June 6 after pleading guilty to weapons charges in August 2009. Of course, that means speculation surrounds if and where the 33-year-old receiver will return to the NFL.

With the Michael Vick comeback story dominating the NFL season, there are positive opinions surrounding Burress as well. The Giants have expressed interest in bringing him back, and in December Michael Strahan said Burress would return as a great player.

Justin Tuck echoes those thoughts.

"I know that he's paid his debt to society, and I think he's overpaid his debt to society," Tuck said. "Yeah, I would love to see him back. We've all seen how the Mike Vick situation has played out. And we all know that Plaxico is one of the most talented wide receivers to ever play this game.

"Whether he's here, or wherever he comes back, he's gonna come back with a chip on his shoulder trying to prove a point. So, as a defensive player, I would much rather that guy be on our team than not. And plus, he's a difference-maker. I would love to see him back."
