Phillips takes Tiki's number

In what is probably a tribute to the late Sean Taylor, Giants rookie safety Kenny Phillips has chosen jersey No. 21. Phillips, who arrived at Miami as Taylor departed, wore No. 1 with the Hurricanes, so that might have also played into his decision.

Phillips will become the first Giant to wear No. 21 since Tiki Barber retired. The number was left vacant all last season.
