Plaxico Burress compares playing for Jets to prison experience

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress has made a controversial comparison between his time with the New York Jets and his experience in prison. In a recent statement, Burress reflected on his one season with the Jets by saying, "When I walked into prison on my first day, I was like, 'damn man you a (expletive) loser.' And I had the same damn feeling every day I walked through the door with the Jets." He played for the Jets in 2011, recording 45 catches for 612 yards and eight touchdowns. Burress experienced a tumultuous career, including a notable incident in 2008 when he shot himself accidentally. After playing with the Jets, he returned to Pittsburgh for his final NFL seasons as a non-factor.
