What up Holmes
TAMPA - Right after Larry Fitzgerald scored to put the Cardinals ahead with just 2:37 left in the Super Bowl, several Pittsburgh players sought out Santonio Holmes.
A couple grabbed the wide receiver and told him, "10, who wants to be the superstar? To be the superstar, now is the time to step in and shine."
"I almost lost it for a minute," Holmes said of his reaction.
Then, he went out and won it for the Steelers. The wide receiver, who grew up selling drugs on a street corner when he wasn't trying to catch rabbits in fields for a few extra bucks to buy clothes, is now a Super Bowl MVP.
Holmes enjoyed his breakout game on the NFL's biggest stage with nine receptions for 131 yards and the game-winning touchdown with 35 seconds remaining. Coincidentally, Plaxico Burress caught the game-winning touchdown with 35 seconds to go last year against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
