Taye Biddle, Giants WR Who Replaced Plaxico Burress on Roster, Gets Shot

by Ryan Wilson

Up till a few hours ago, only family, friends and hardcore Giants fans knew Taye Biddle. Now, after getting shot on Sunday outside his Decatur, Alabama home, pretty much everybody knows his story.

Signed by the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2006, Biddle lasted just one season in Carolina. He was out of the NFL in '07, and made a brief pit stop in Detroit before landing on the Giants' practice squad last September.

Even though he took two bullets -- one to his hand, another in his leg -- the story wouldn't merit national attention if not for one minor detail: you see, Biddle is the guy the Giants signed to the 53-man roster to replace Plaxico Burress after he blew a hole in his leg back in November.
