The free agent wide receiver and one-time Super Bowl hero has had a tax lien filed against him, TMZ reported. Legal documents showed that Plaxico Burress failed to pay the full amount owed on his personal income taxes for 2007, leading New York to come looking for the $59,421 it i owed.

The tax lien development marks another step backward for the man who was once the New York Giants No. 1 receiver and made the game-winning touchdown catch in Super Bowl XLII. Things then fell apart for Plaxico Burress after he shot himself in the leg in 2008, the New York Post noted, as this led to a prison sentence for a weapons possession charge.
