NY Giants CB Dru Phillips Has Found Clarity in His NFL Career

New York Giants

New York Giants slot cornerback Dru Phillips was a third-round pick last year who, by all accounts, played pretty darn well for a rookie. Phillips, out of the University of Kentucky, finished 13th among 23 NFL slot cornerbacks who played in at least 265 coverage snaps with a 95.0 rating, and was one of seven slot corners who gave up just one touchdown last year. Phillips, who had a vision issue in college that at times made tracking the ball difficult, underwent LASIK surgery in the offseason with the encouragement of the Giants organization, which mentioned it to him during the pre-draft process. “It was one of those things where they were like, ‘You can’t see?’ They were the only team that cared about it,” Phillips said Thursday after the team finished its seventh practice of training camp.
