Coach Gene Clemons has a first look at Giants' third-round draft pick Andru Phillips, a cornerback out of Kentucky.
The New York Giants are reshaping their defensive backfield. They said goodbye to Adoree’ Jackson and Xavier McKinney in free agency. They followed up their second-round selection of Minnesota Safety Tyler Nubin by grabbing another player in the back third of the defense with the selection of Kentucky cornerback Andru Phillips . At the NFL Combine, Phillips ran a 4.48 forty-yard dash and exploded 42” in the vertical jump as well as 11’3” in the broad jump.
Kentucky’s zone defensive scheme means that he has a good understanding of those principles. His athleticism says that he should be able to excel in man coverage as well. He also can backpedal smoothly, change directions, explode, and strike. His speed lets him stay in phase with receivers on deep or crossing routes.
He may not be very big but he is aggressive and is not afraid of contact. He has the physicality and mindset of a safety when playing against the run. He was not a splash player over his final two seasons starting for the Wildcats, but he was extremely solid and did his job consistently to the best of his ability.
