The Future. :coolgleamA: [commence post timeawarp post jump bs that is about to happen when I hit submit]
Giants safety Kenny Phillips has gone through at least one growing process in the last year: his NFL rookie season, during which he admittedly reined in his personality on the field and off while playing a situational role as a backup. Now, with James Butler having left via free agency, Phillips is in a starting role alongside Michael Johnson. And so far this spring, last year's first-round pick has shown improved on-field awareness to go along with the athleticism that was always evident. "I see better recognition. I see him getting a jump on the ball, believing in what he sees and letting his ability take him to, literally, where the ball is," coach Tom Coughlin said. "He's bigger and stronger, too. We're excited, looking forward to Phillips' upcoming season." Source: Newark Star-Ledger
